“. . . Mystery is a great challenge it’s an invitation and it’s a wonderful companion, actually . . .” - Dr. Robert Coles, from Speaking of Faith 1/1/09 On my best days I live in mystery. The mystery of hope, love, and grace. The mystery of Christ and the Church. The mystery of I and Thou, and how the dialectic of self and selfless defines and defies every relationship I have.

It is a mystery that fuels all hope of knowing and truth, and yet allows a profoundness and peace even when facts and understanding have changed zip codes and are nowhere to be found.

Everything in my life worth holding is tinted and flavoured with mystery, and I thank Dr. Coles for reminding me of that.
