Iris DeMent's "Let the Mystery Be," should be required singing throughout the land. It's all Mystery. The Mind is a mystery. Everything seems to participate in Mind. Viruses and flocks of birds and schools of fish... The people who vote for Trump are of one mind, and the people who vote against him are of another mind, but "mind" is beyond definition or understanding. My body has a mind, my life has a mind of its own. It's all Mystery. So is everything else. Anger. What goes into being angry? Into getting angry? Why aren't all people angry about the same thing? There is so much we will never get to the bottom of. I'd much rather "let the Mystery be," than wax eloquent about things we do not, cannot, comprehend. Like dark matter and what squids do on their day off.
