If there are no answers, how do we justify the continuation of our studies, our search for knowledge, myth, belief, love, emotion and spirituality in its entirety? It is simple. To justify our existence we must continue the practice of proposing answers. The key is that we must immediately forget the answer we just created. And if that hurts too much, perhaps we can briefly dance in the moment of joy where we think we’ve struck spiritual gold. But to create again, we must forget everything.

On This Day…

Christian remembrance of the day of death for Dietrich Bonhoeffer: 20th C Lutheran pastor who, as a result of his work with the Resistance, and his public speaking after he was forbidden to do so by the Nazi party, was imprisoned, and at the end of the war, executed.
