Making Peace with Mystery



Dr. Paul Dunion, EdD, LPC


      IL DESTINO PREFERISCE L'AUDACIE.

     Destiny favors the bold.






Life is an extremely deep mystery.
Let yourself be touched by her and she may grant you a glimpse.

Suffering aids in the death of naivete, diminishes pride, ignites curiosity and wonder, and deepens humility.




Let go of the pursuit of happiness, for it is not pursuable.
Seek what you can truly quest: the truth about yourself, compassion for that truth, and forgiveness for yourself. The gods willing, happiness may follow.






      When you know who you want to be at your death,
      you'll know who you want to be in life.

      Feed the moment well,
      for it is pregnant with your future.






I have no interest in a master plan. My wish is to be off on an adventure,
learn something, get home with at least half my butt intact
in time to make love and jump in the hot tub.

I'm no longer interested in self-improvement
as long as that implies, in any way,
that my essential goodness is not already present.




      Do you know the one willing to be lost,
      In order to stumble across a deeper truth within yourself?

      Nothing leads me away from myself more
      than my wish that others think well of me.
