Unable to understand the problems that I encountered through my life, but knowing that "something was wrong" raised a lot of questions for me.
I had just recently rediscovered a zen axiom which implied that in the question is the seed to an answer. Since my childhood I have had those questions. And the answers came with more questions; but I also felt that those questions, when addressed honestly, began a spiral journey upwards in my life.
An honest question
deserves an honest answer.
Live an "open door".
Through this process of questioning I found my christian faith. However it didn't just end there. Oh no! I still struggled. But I kept on, in fits and starts, with my quest: my questioning of the whys-and-wherefores in my life. Surprisingly, I discovered that my faith gave birth to more questions which, in turn, seemed to cast a light on new answers. A progression. Always going forward; like a journey...
...Along the way, just recently, I discovered I had ADD. Here I am a grandfather, and now what do I do with the rest of my life?...which is, of course, another question drawing me further along into the rest of my life. The journey seems to go on. And with that I have to kind of subjectively guess that maybe, just maybe, our lives are not meant to be stationary; but we are meant to be always moving...journeying...on an adventure! Because that's what it has been for me.ver menos
