Today’s Ponder

SEPTEMBER 25, 2026

"The mystery of life is not a problem to be solved; it is a reality to be experienced." -J.J. van der Leeuw

Because I am free to think, things will frequently unfold contrary to my beliefs or understandings creating potential problems. They can remain potential if I choose to accept that my reality is but one version and live it to its fullest.
