It takes a lot more time for us to deal
with the fundamental questions than is at first apparent.
We have to take this long, circular,
difficult, dangerous, humbling, strenuous, extraordinarily complicated, route to
find out where we were at the beginning! It seems simple, and there
are glimpses and hints of the resolution along the way, but it takes most of a lifetime.
There is a wonderful little poem by
Robert Frost that always comes to my mind whenever I reflect on that
ridiculous state of affairs:

Forgive, O
Lord, my little jokes on Thee,
And I'll
forgive Thy great big one on me.
