Yes, you read that right. Today's resource podcast is "anonymous." Not just any anonymous, but a famous anonymous. Well as famous as an anonymous person can be. That is because, he - fairly certain of that gender - wrote a book of some fame. The book is titled: The Cloud of Unknowing.

A resource podcast is where we pick a person, a podcast, a book and bring it forward for consideration as a mind, body, spirit health resource. This relatively obscure little book is today's resource.

The book was published in the 14th century. It advises a young monk how to approach God. It's been called a mystical book, but that misrepresents it. It is really a manual for this young monk, a guide toward wisdom, faith and God; away from pretense, ego and certainty.

It's mystical in the sense that one must embrace mystery.

In this podcast, Maureen and Pierre explore living in a cloud of unknowing. Perhaps a virtue not just towards achieving a spiritual life, but calming gift for living through uncertain and divisive times.

Join in for a listen. The more you know the more you realize you don't know.

The Cloud of Unknowing - Anonymous. 14th century manuscript, ironically available on Amazon.
