“The world without
wonder – the world mystery!
That indeed is the rainbow without colors, the sunrise
without living gold, the noon void of light.” - Fiona
Macleod
Two centuries ago, he came across many native tribes
and settlements, and was eager to prove his superiority
and dominance over the Red Man.
On one such occasion, the White Man came riding into
camp with his guns and liquor and colored trade beads.
Sliding down off his horse, he demanded to see the tribal
chief, an old man who seemed far too bent and frail to
lead his warriors.
To make the message plain and simple, the White Man took
a stick and drew a circle in the dust outside the chief’s
tepee. Through an interpreter, he said, ‘This is what
the Red Man knows.’
Then he draws a larger circle around the first.
‘And this is what the White Man knows, so you should
be respectful.’
The old chief considered this carefully. Then he took
the stick and drew a huge circle around the other two
that filled the encampment’s central clearing.
‘And this,’ he replied, ‘is what none of us knows. So
we should be respectful…”
“Today I reflect on the idea that the mystery of
life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be
experienced…” - Alan Watts
