The happiest people choose to forgive,
love, help, and care.
They give freely-
not because it’s easy,
but because it fills their soul.

inquiry for today~ may the wild ride come home….
I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.”
Gilda Radner said those words while dying of cancer. It’s a detail that matters.
Because it’s easy to celebrate not-knowing when you’re young, and the horizon before you seems infinite. It’s something else entirely to find peace with uncertainty when the story you thought you were living has been torn to shreds before you. Radner wasn’t offering us platitudes. She was reporting from the front lines of a living organism that refused to cooperate with her plans.
Delicious ambiguity. Not tolerable. Not acceptable. Delicious.
I keep coming back to that word. This New Moon asks something specific- not just to accept uncertainty, but to find nourishment in it. We are almost dissolved. It’s time to stop treating mystery as a problem to be solved and start treating it as a condition to be faced, accepted- inhabited.
