Life is a Mystery

We can discover so many mysteries and wonders around us by simply observing our life.  The more we observe, the more we know we live in a mysterious world!

Just take our body for an example, how our body keeps growing and developing without much of our participation and consent is a huge mystery.  When we observe it, we can know our body almost totally function independently.  We can observe that there is a soul resides in this body.  We have little control of how this body will look like, develop, and grow.  We can also observe the soul resides in it is ageless.  Four seasons rotate; sun rises, sun sets; body develops and starts to decay, this soul is still there with the same nature, she is still playful, silent, wise, deep, and still.  Isn’t that a wonder?

We can also discover the life mystery when we observe people fall in love.  Two people in love are driven by a bigger force.  Isn’t that a mystery and wonder?  One cannot help wondering how does it happen?  How this force connects two strangers to serve Its own purpose?  And how these two people can recognize themselves in soul level?  Isn’t it a mystery?

We can also discover these mysteries by observing the nature.  Why these migration birds know where to go and when to migrate?  How does the seed know when to sprout?  How do the trees know when to bloom?

How wonderful we live in a world full of mysteries and wonders!  I am most grateful for all these wonderful experiences!  They color and enrich my human experiences!
