Monday's a Mystery and Tuesday feels like Thursday

As long as there are no great whites, I'll get in the water...
But if there are great whites, it's every man for himself

Found this book at the library today...how have I never heard of Eugenie Clark?

Best quote was at the end:

And after her decades of research and discoveries, Genie knew, "there are lots of things - big things - that we don't know about.  There will always be more to learn.  Always more surprises."

She never stopped pressing her face against the glass and wondering...

One of my favorite podcasts to listen to is a compilation of Rabbi Jonathan Sacks sermons.  This line from his sermon on faith really hit me, "If probability is the measure, nothing remotely interesting is probable.  Therefore, the sentence on the bus (probably, God doesn't exist), ought to have said, 'Improbably, He does.' Faith is the defeat of probability by the power of possibility."

When I stop and think of some of the most amazing reformations made in the world, none of them were probable.  They were all made by people who pressed their faces against the glass, so to speak.  In fact, many were made by people who transcended the glass.

I think that's something I'd like to carry with me as I move throughout my life.  I want to see the things that seem hard and improbable and transform them into opportunities to elevate the lives of the people around me, and maybe elevate my own life, too ;)

#FeelingExistential

Is that how existential is used or should I have said philosophical...
