I do not fully know you. Yet, i dare speak to you about the mystery that you are. I do so, by understanding the meaning of mystery. And where all resources fails, dictionary.com doesnt. It says in dictionary.com that mystery is "any truth that is unknowable except by divine revelation". And there you have it, the connection between the known and the unknown: the divine.
And doesnt one encounter the divine through that proverbial leap of faith? It is therefore with a lens of faith that I can speak you about, in a prophetic manner. No doubt, prophecy presupposes a tight relationship with the divine that i do not boast of. What i have, in comparison, is a faith the size of a mustard seed. And such faith, i rather use to speak to you, than to move mountains. So this is what i will say:
Find within yourself the voice that tells you where you are supposed to be. It is life-giving and in it you will find peace. That same voice will tell you whether you should leave or stay. Dare to listen to it. Dare to be yourself. There is no greater gift than who you are. If you cannot be yourself, there is no greatest gift to give. And how sad that would be, since we have this one life to live, and therefore this one gift to give. Do not be afraid to be yourself. You are more than the looks that people give you, and the comments that people make. There is a light within you- you need only look into a mirror to see it. No one lights a lamp only to put it under the bed, so let them see that. Believe me, human beings are looking for human beings to relate to. Not perfect androids from science fiction thrillers. Our authenticity lies in our readiness to be and look human. And isnt authenticity the foundation by which love- and i am talking true love here, the marriage kind- happens?
The mystery of you is that there is so much more. And yes, i am talking about "more" in a philosophical sense. Mystery as such doesnt stifle questions, if anything it invites them. As I invite the people around me, and in particular a person, to unravel the mystery that I am- and the mystery behind what we share- i invite you to do the same for yours. It is like a child counting down the end of Christmas eve; it is like the groom unveiling his bride at the altar. And in the line of such matrimonial thoughts, allow yourself to be enveloped by the mystery that brings two individuals- by fate, coincidence or providence- to say the two words that seal their lives irreversibly. Such is a place we are definitely all called to be in.
I've spoken to you about you. About love. And about mystery. And the mystery behind you, is that you are created by and made for love. You can say that such words are too romantic for a male blog- but tell me that thats not true?
