Coddiwomple

Life is in flux. It is moving in the direction of uncertainty. I love the paradoxical truth: the only certianty is uncertainty. By embracing the unkown purposely we come to know what is true, what is real, what is the purpose of life. I love the definition of 'coddiwompling'. Coddiwompling means travel purposely towards as an yet-to-unkown destination. As the author says: "Making it" and "getting there" are constantly evolving, everchanging, and that is the essence of life." To me, life is a pilgrimage with twists and turns. Faith in the unkown is the guiding light. I do not know the way but I have deep and unchanging faith in the light within. It illuminates my path, guides me in the right direction. When I was in my teen age I had a friend. We lived by a river. One morning he came to see me and invited me to walk by the riverside to see unkown scenery. It was an adventure for us. We descided to watch the unkown scenery. We saw colors and configuarions of clowds changing. For the first time in my life I witness such a display of changing colors. And that juorney still continues. The inner journey takes me to wonderful places and it brings joyful awe and enriches my life. In the journey of life we need faith, courage, and curiosity. We receive many surpising gifts and we are grateful fo receiving such wondreful gifts. Namaste! Jagdish P Dave
