Embracing Paradox
Category:Connections,Exploration,Growth,Learning,Opportunity,ParadoxWe live in a world
Of either/or,
Not both/and.
This is a world
Where reason rules
And does not tolerate
Exceptions to the rules.
But that’s not the world
We really live in.
We’ll never see
The full richness of our world
And we’ll learn a lot less
If we choose not to see
Its complexity and contradiction
And its endless mystery
Hiding beneath the surface.
Paradox can help us to learn
As long as we welcome it
And explore it,
Grateful for its ability
To challenge our deeply held beliefs
And tightly enforced rules.
