"Something extraordinary occurs when we allow ourselves the freedom to not know, because it is then that everything opens up. It is then that the experience of life becomes profoundly joyous and unthinkably mysterious. When we surrender the need to know, we discover that things often work out in marvelous and unexpected ways that we could never have previously imagined. Only when we transcend the need to always be sure of what's going to happen in the future will there be room for that which is extraordinary and miraculous to be known.
"What would the experience of life be like if we were no longer seeking for any security whatsoever from the future? Everything would open up, everything would become possible. Why? Because we wouldn't be waiting any longer for the experience of life to become complete. When we realize that everything is possible, then the way we respond to life begins to literally break boundaries. Suddenly, all that seemed fixed is undone, and that which was previously unimaginable reveals itself."
Andrew Cohen
pools of sorrow, waves of joy
come drifting through my opened mind
possessing and caressing me
