Mysteries

There are a lot.  Too many to name.  Many times we'll never know how to solve them.  Hence the name.  Wiser men than us have tried and fallen short.  I will be no different, try as I may.  Oftentimes we lunge for the solution.  Some succeed to an extent.  Others fail, sometimes spectacularly.  This should not be an end.  Think about like climbing.  Perhaps we're too short or too inexperienced to send a difficult route.  Maybe we're too tired (or think we are) and can't complete that final sequence to the top.  But we need to try.  Make that leap of faith.  We can fall and give up or we can reach the top, no matter the number of attempts it takes.  That's what mysteries are.  A chance for us to take a chance.  And if we fail, we've got that top rope, the belayer, and the harness to keep us safe.  That's a lot of protection.  How could we possibly get hurt?
