“If you wonder some, and ignore some, life is wholesome.”
by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe — from Questions Asked, chapter 16
In other words
Life invites questions that may never receive final answers. Its routines repeat, its seasons change, and death remains certain while much else stays mysterious. Thinking about these things can deepen wonder, but it can also make living disappear beneath the effort to explain it. Ignoring every question would make life smaller. Chasing every answer would make it too heavy. Wholeness lies somewhere between them: enough wonder to remain awake to the mystery, and enough release to keep taking part in the day.
A newborn does not solve life before living it. Some of that simplicity remains useful later. Understanding can enrich a life, but not understanding everything is also part of what life asks us to hold.
