What if not knowing is the greatest gift God has given to man? Consider with me these words penned by one of my favorite female poets, Emily Dickinson: The deepest need of man, is for the unknown--for which we never think to thank God. Pair that thought with these, penned by the same insightful hand: Exultation is the going Of an inland soul to sea, Past the houses--past the headlands-- Into deep Eternity-- Bred As we, among the mountains, Can the sailor understand, The divine intoxication Of the first league out from land? The divine quest is the best, and truly intoxicating. I love the idea that living in mystery is all part of the Divine cosmic plan. Were we to know with absolute certainty, sailing for distant shores would surely lose its allure. So off into Eternity, goes my inland soul to sea--replacing all my egocentric sailings with the currents of divine humanity.
