Enlightenment, after all, resides in The Fog. For the essence of The Fog is really not about the mystery for its own sake. The essence of The Fog is about learning to accept responsibility for our own lives. We would choose to ignore those signs for to follow them might create uncertainty. Living in The Fog is about personal choices, choices we make despite or indeed because of the uncertainty.
Answers provided by others seem to create clarity but the clarity is misleading.
It is clarity that defers our own need for growth. We can only grow when we are unsure of the direction of our lives and, as a result, trust in the process, in The Fog. It is when we are children that we are most intimately connected to The Fog for that is before we begin to develop the fears that eventually become the barriers to that connection. The fears create the need for answers, for seeming clarity, and so prevent us from being open to change. When we are adults and we have learned to let go of those fears, we may then find ourselves almost as children yet again, living in harmony with our universe, having returned to that intimate connection with which we were born.
