At times existential questions visit in the places we hold most dear. Rilke said we must learn to love the questions; but what if it is the source of the questions we love?

About Me
- Kringle
- As an academic, health care professional, and aerobics instructor, I have come to realize that all walks of life have beauty to offer. My faith, closest relationships, and doing things I love to do provide the driving force and bring joy in the journey. When I was in Jr. High as a close family member struggled with mental illness, I wrote: "I believe it is in fully experiencing the difficulties, sadness, and challenges in life, that we fully come to realize the joys; for the challenges can make or break us, and through them we can learn, grow, and fully realize the joys in the journey. For those visitors and friends that stop by, I wish you joy, and I pray you may find beauty in every step of your journey. My personal and professional mission in life it to live life to the fullest, love fervently, and to strive to make a positive difference.
Great thought. Just the act of questioning is liberating.
ReplyDeleteKringle...without questioning...we would get no where and how would we know what we hear is the truth?

Thank you both for stopping. ... Yes I agree Dan, we must question to find the truth. ... In fact, I tell students when talking of matters of faith, belief, or even values, ... if we don't question our faith, we cannot come to know its full strength, nor can we grow in the process. .. yet too I am mindful that perhaps there are existential questions that will always tug at the heart in places held most dear.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this. The questions are the ones that lead us to discover the motivation behind our choices and what we truly value in ourselves and those whom we love.
