Understanding Is Not Required

I have learned and I know a lot of things, partly through my own observations, partly through my reading, partly through meditation and partly through my mystical connection.  The more I learn, the more I realize that I know next to nothing: as deCastillejo says “faced with the mystery of life and death we know almost nothing”.  This morning several people brought up the apparent tragedies of life, things like deaths, abuse or destruction, things that most people assume to be “bad”, since they are unpleasant.  People ask “how do these things fit within love”.  My sense is that they do fit and that we simply do not understand.
