Here comes the mystery

I finished Out of the Question… last night. You know I love Leonard Sweet’s writing, but I had a ‘stupid’ moment while reading. Here’s what he writes:

The science of chaos and nonequilibrium physics is based on embracing uncertainty and unpredictability while knowing that underlying everything is a fundamental interconnectedness, purposefulness, and endless possibilities.

WHAT??!! I actually wrote on the sidebar “you have got to be kidding!” I have no idea what he is talking about and I’m sure it’s not his problem! Anyway, chalk that up to one of the mysteries of life for me. I love the way he ends the book:

There is a time to leave words behind for a walkabout with Jesus of listening and seeing and adoring a world rimmed with sunsets but brimming with sunrises. As Henry Ward Beecher, one of the great preachers of the nineteenth century, drew his last breath, he uttered his final words:

“Here comes the Mystery…”
