The Lesson

 

Life is learning. We spend most of our lives


seeking answers. Why is this, that, what is it


all about? Why me?



And when reaching the plateau of all you


know, you come to understand there is much


which is left unrealized. There are so many


more questions than answers.



Then it hits you, a strange and soothing notion


It is what it is, has been, and shall always be.



Let it go, let it be. You are relieved in realizing


that you know so very little about anything.



Why even at the last, the crucified Jesus cried out


with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?


that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou


forsaken me?



Perhaps you were blessed in not knowing all along.


It never was about you personally anyway.
