For those who enjoy mysteries, a mystery is compelling.

The misery is to uncover the answer too quickly.

We want to know it all and follow every angle.

Even if the mystery is contained in one's own body, the intrigue of it all is not diminished.

No one body is identical to another. None can predict the resiliency or mortality of the human machine. The more we know, the less we know, and the more we want to know. Is it this or is it that or is it both or neither?

I am often the patient, but also an interested observer, student, and process participant in this mystery-adventure. I am grateful today for information and those willing to make it available.

Part of me enjoys this visit to a university teaching hospital , as learning and teaching center.

Part of me dreads coming back for more tests.

Most of me is fascinated by opportunities to learn, grow, and pursue health.

All of me is grateful to God and humanity for the curiosity that leads to answers in the pursuit of mastery of mystery.

I see this pointing to some eternal lessons and about those mysteries, I reflect and journal.
