For more information on Chalice Circles, please email chalicecircles@uuprinceton.org. Our Chalice Circle thoughts and questions around the theme of The Unknowable this month are:

“”Mystery creates wonder, and wonder is the basis of man’s desire to understand.” – Neil Gaiman

What are some of the mysteries in your life that have sparked your sense of wonder? How have they influenced your journey?

 

“What is not known is more important than what is known.” – David Bohm

Can you identify an aspect of your life where the unknown has been more influential than the known? How did that shape your decisions?

 

“The more I know, the more I realize I know nothing.” – Socrates

Reflect on a situation where you felt your understanding deepened after realizing you still had much to learn. How did that affect your perspective?

 

The unknowable is the essence of art. – Pablo Picasso

How do you think the unknowable aspects of your creativity or artistic expression manifest in your work or hobbies?
