It reminded me of a very similar show called "The Smiling Proud Wanderer" which I used to watch when I was little eventhough I didn't understand the Taiwanese language (thank goodness for subtext). It's basically the same storyline. The hero goes places fighting bad people and has flashbacks of his training w/ his master before he karate chops someone. The master usually utters ambiguous words of wisdom as if one has to decipher it like a Menza puzzle. It's like what you said, it made me think that wisdom is "beyond our reach, a mystery we can’t penetrate."<BR/><BR/>This morning I had a nice chat with one of our priests while waiting for my RCIA class. Father asked me how do I find the class. I told him that I really enjoy being there because I learn a lot. I've been a Catholic all my life and yet, I still have many questions. He said to me, "I'm a priest and I still have a lot of questions too." He smiled and said, "You know, asking questions is the beginning of wisdom." I thought what he said about wisdom was simple and it made a lot more sense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14168956.post-1131264822479545172005-11-06T03:13:00.000-05:002005-11-06T03:13:00.000-05:00Do you have a perpetual adoration chapel in your p...Do you have a perpetual adoration chapel in your parish? It's hard not to be jealous of that!DPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195133313571297243noreply@blogger.com
