The Mystery Holds

Scripture  

Ecclesiastes 11:5 (NLT)  

Just as you cannot understand the path of the wind  

or the mystery of a tiny baby growing in its mother’s womb,  

so you cannot understand the activity of God,  

who does all things.

Refrain  

I am held by the One I cannot explain.

Poem  

Rainer Maria Rilke, from Letters to a Young Poet  

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart  

and try to love the questions themselves.  

Do not seek the answers,  

which cannot be given you  

because you would not be able to live them.  

Live the questions now.  

Perhaps you will then gradually,  

without noticing it,  

live along some distant day into the answer.”
