Faith teaches me that this is a benevolent universe and all is well

Vrienden, heb vertrouwen!

I don't know?

"Letting there be room for not knowing is the most important thing of all. When there's a big disappointment, we don't know if that's the end of the story. It may just be the beginning of a great adventure. Life is like that. We don't know anything. We call something bad; we call it good. But really we just don't know." ~ Pema Chodron

There is something deeply stirring about saying: “I do not know”, there is an immediate sense of freedom that comes with that statement of fact. Not knowing is Bliss. Some might ask: “How can not knowing be bliss, it fills me with fear?” Well, not knowing is bliss as long as that ‘not knowing’, is solidly rooted in faith. Faith teaches me that this is a benevolent universe and all is well; as a matter of fact, all ‘not being well’ is not even an option.

Love,
