Mystery

So many mysteries.

My inner toddler inquires Why?

The jaded, busy adult often ignores, claiming she “knows the difference*”

Its a mystery, not my responsibility.

But is it? A mystery?

Inquiry first, then acceptance.

Acceptance of mystery invites enjoyment

Hmmmm.

 

*from The Serenity Prayer, written by theologian Reinhold Neibuhr in the 1930’s, and now widely used, particularly in 12-step recovery programs.  God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and the Wisdom to know the difference.

I started this blog, curioussteph.com in 2017, with the intent of exploring both inner and outer curiosities. This was the beginning: By day, I'm a retired family physician turned body-oriented psychotherapist. I garden, travel, am owned by 2 elderly cats, figure skate and am training for my first triathlon. Three years later, the two elderly cats have crossed the rainbow bridge, and we now have an 11 year old adoptee, Ziggy. I'm done with triathlon and skating for the time being, and I am still physically active, running, biking and walking. It's now the time of the coronavirus, which is affecting us all. Coincident with that, my 90 year old father's replacement aortic valve is failing and he is now in hospice care. I anticipate a variety of current writings, and some of the focus may be on how it is now, with a gravely ill parent, and the constraints of covid 19, and how it all hangs together. We shall see.
