Hi Everyone,

As we approach the end of the year, I’ve been thinking a lot about wonder. Not as something that demands answers, but as something worth protecting in its own right. We live in a culture that constantly pushes us to resolve every question, explain every mystery, and extract meaning on demand. Yet some of the most important experiences in life don’t yield themselves that way. They ask only that we notice them and sit with them. Sometimes it’s best that we simply allow them to remain open. There is a quiet strength in that posture. I also think there’s a kind of wisdom in there we’ve been too quick to forget.

This has obvious relevance to the UFO subject, but it extends well beyond it. Whatever the ultimate nature of that mystery may be, the journey itself has already expanded our sense of reality, challenged our assumptions, and invited a deeper humility about our place in the universe. That, to me, is not a failure or a curse. It’s a gift.

As the year winds down, I hope you’ll allow yourself a little space for that kind of wonder. Not as an escape from thinking, because we love to do that too. But as a reminder that not everything meaningful needs to be solved in order to matter.

Happy Holidays to everyone, 

Richard
