Ah, the past few days we have had some pretty terrific spring weather here in Nonesuch. Yesterday a magnificent day in the 70′s. Today, they are predicting the mid-80′s. Garden, here I come!
So, it is time once again to do some deck sittin’, coffee drinkin’, and thinkin’ about life.
First of all, I must admit I really like blogging. I have deep admiration for those of you who have the time and discipline to blog on a regular basis. I find that the demands of life come too fast and furious to maintain a regular discipline of blogging. But I do want to try. It is not so much that I have anything relevant to say (which puts me in good company in the blogosphere) but because I like the way it chronicles my thought processes and experiences in life. Unlike those who have all the answers and try to fit everyone else into their tiny little worlds of one, the only place where those answers make any sense, I approach life with few answers and lots of questions. The pursuit of those answers allows me to see life as an adventure. As a person of faith I have discovered that if you can get yourself out of the way long enough to see life through multiple lenses, through the stories of others, in concert with both the spiritual and natural forces, I cannot help but experience life with a constant sense of wonder. This sense of wonder runs along a continuum from inspiration to exasperation, from joy to sorrow, for sure, but nonetheless its far beyond my limited abilities to make sense of it, which keeps me in my place as but a creation of the Creator. You see, because it is God’s world, every time you try to substitute your explanation for God’s mystery, you shrink the world down to a world of one. It’s for those folks I grieve the most.
Time to refill the coffee cup!
