Watching the Papal election process has been fascinating. Even more fascinating is the public reaction to it. People are enthralled. Yesterday I sat in a Boston's Gourmet Pizza for lunch during a meeting and they were having live coverage of the smokestack.
The whole time.
We watched the smokestack.
For an hour.
The comment I continue to hear from people is "I just don't understand the process." It is a mystery, wrapped in an enigma.
I'm thinking that this is why it is so enthralling. Mystery and its value is largely underrated. People seek out things they don't understand if they sense a hidden or deeper meaning.
And so we stare at smokestacks.
Interesting.
Thinking about the church...the faith...how we think...what we do...how we practice...what's emerging...
