What are those moments in our lives that we found moving, profound or life changing, those moments of mystery? Although difficult to define and at times difficult to describe, we explore the topic with a sense of charting unknown waters. Mystery is the unknown and those moments of mystery that change us, affect the core of who we are as we grow older. Experiencing mystery as we walk the Camino Trail or see geese fly up above our heads while wilderness canoeing, move us and unite us with something greater than ourselves. In those moments we can experience a sense of joining with generations before, or a deep appreciation for nature and its unknowns, or awe for the vast universe or how our bodies work. We are all explorers, unwrapping layers of mystery like an onion, looking for the greater depths. Being open to mystery creates room for questioning and standing before mystery keeps our curiosity and wonder alive as we age.
