Let Mystery Keep Its Place
A question can deepen a life without ever becoming a complete answer.

There are questions intelligence can illuminate without completing. Why one life turns at a certain hour. Why love remains after separation. Why grief and gratitude can occupy the same breath.
The need to explain everything can become a refusal to encounter anything larger than explanation. Leave a place at the table for mystery tonight.
This is not surrendering reason. It is allowing reason to know the edge of its jurisdiction.
Rest beside what you cannot conclude. A question may deepen a life even when it never becomes an answer.
