WONDER
“Wonder rather than doubt is the root of knowledge.”
~ Abraham Joshua Heschel ~
Living with paradox is part of sobriety. Things are never quite what they seem. Just when I think I have something figured out, I find I am confused again— especially around life, relationships, people, events, and the universe.
Life is simple yet incomprehensible. God seems to demand an agnostic faith! There is so much I do not know or understand.
Fortunately, this leads to a creative and exciting sobriety. It makes my life an adventure. It feeds that artistic part of me that is reborn in sobriety. Things I used to dislike when I drank, I now enjoy. People and writers who once bored me now fascinate me. Everything has a spiritual message!
God, let feelings of amazement always be part of my faith.
