Two Views For Us To Ponder - #241

If you open exploring the mystery on the web (www.NickyMendenhall.blogspot.com), you will see a banner that features the trumpet vine that you see above. Compare the two images; do they evoke different feeling tones in you?

The change in my sense of the country I live in, and may I say of myself before the election on November 8, 2016, and my sense of self after, may be nearly as radical as the difference between the glistening green leaves with mysterious black opening and the tangled brown stems and leaves struggling to survive.  

I marvel at my naivety in Post 237, glibly quoting  Singh: "to open to what is, we may feel jolted out of our usual way of seeing ourselves and our world."

There is much to say regarding this sea change, but not tonight and maybe never. exploring the mystery is not a political blog. I wanted to acknowledge a question I received from a faithful reader: "What mystery is too painful to explore?"

For now, this is my answer.

Thanks for exploring the mystery - Nicky Mendenhall
