Human beings are so wonderfully mysterious. We can love someone dearly and still have no idea what's going on inside their heads. Perhaps when we learn to love God, who is truly beyond all understanding, it can help us to accept the other things we do not know.
Quite by accident, I came across this lovely poem by the 14th-century Sufi poet Hafiz:
I have a thousand brilliant lies for the question: How are you?
I have a thousand brilliant lies for the question: What is God?
If you think that the Truth can be known from words,
If you think that the Sun and the Ocean
Can pass through that tiny opening called the mouth,
O someone should start laughing!
Someone should start wildly Laughing –Now!
