We find ourselves in a universe that has order. We have worked very hard as a race to establish and define this order. The law of gravity, and Bernoulli'a principle along with aerodynamics and mechanical engineering have brought about he era of man-made flying machines. However, these laws and principles already existed before they were written down. Things stuck to the earth before Newton took an apple to the head. And the wind could suck the air out of a cave just as well before Bernoulli applied his fluid pressure principle to pumps as now.
What I'm getting at is that even our most advanced discoveries are not of things new but discoveries of that which has existed for some time. Ice melts when the temperature reaches above 32 degrees F. When a new super conductor is made and it moves energy or information faster than ever before it's still not new, for those elements in that configuration will act that way weather we put it together or something in creation did without human intervention.
So what! I gotta kind of agree with that sentiment. But when we see life as something being uncovered rather than created our whole outlook and energy can be different. I mean, who doesn't like to open a new present. But few people if any are anxious to venture out into the unknown just for the sake of moving on in life.
Mystery is a great motivator, it seems though we each have a different sense of which mysteries are important. Some excell at one thing and others fill their hobby time win something else. Each person has their passions - but I find it much more intriguing to consider that all that exists is already there - ours is just to uncover it or remember again where it came from. Everything is just a great big pile of potential waiting to be unlocked. We don't have to be impressive to excel just inquisitive.
So here's to discovery in all aspects of life. There is more to uncover and much to learn --- Don't Stop!
