A morning tear on my cheek begins my day. Am I tired out from yesterday's chase after answers or saddened the answers remain in the dark? It has been said by those who know, We must choose to live with the questions. I am glad the ache in my heart and the ache in my head remain the same from one year to the next. I still demand the same though time moves on. And a precious daughter writes me notes of love and a drawing of a rainbow with hands.

Seek beautiful dialogue on the nature of answers. The greatest possible number of answers should not create the smallest number of questions. Adequate answers should never satisfy those who seek to live at the edge of time. Beware of answers creating a numbing of the mind.

Who can tell how phases exist solely in relation to movement around the sun? Atonement found on the cross can also be found whenever you set off to forage in the wilderness for something you lost on the day of your birth. Awareness and light both have infinite gradations so do not worry about being a perfect caretaker to those in need of attention at all times. Simply promise to yourself upon stepping outdoors to explore your own freedom, opening your arms to the realm where answers seem less important.

Begin with the question, What did you come here for? which is really another way of asking, Why take your next breath? Then slowly, as if all of life depends upon how you unfold the tapestry of life, ask, What is at risk to live?
