A Holy Mantra

If all life is change, if the off-center, in-between state is the ideal situation, the place we can open our hearts and minds beyond limit into the infinite and perhaps where we can unite with all that is, and where our learning is quickened, accelerated, enhanced then I don’t know is a holy mantra.

What is my suffering comes only when I push myself to know? When I strain. When I concretize, stuff in a box, try to write a tag line for my future?

You know what? I don’t know!

    I like this mantra and when I worked as a chaplain visiting patients/families in dire grief that mantra was drilled into our heads…there’s no need in trying to answer questions that have no answers…theirs or ours.

    Hi Jennifer. I’m moved to write after visiting your blog regularly (and enjoy it!) since August. Love this mantra! I have been in the “off-center, in-between state” for a while now, and it’s hard for me to see it as the “ideal situation.” I wish I know what to do already! (Notice “do” not “be”…) Also love your saying “try to write a tag line for my future” and I just realized that I might be hung up on finding myself a label for cocktail parties. I used to have a fancy label and now when I say I’m a stay-at-home mom I can see the eyes glaze over, brain goes blank, and awkward silence follows. I don’t regret being a stay-at-home mom but I am more than just the kids’ mom! I vote to ban the “And what do you do?” question at parties.
