Daily Practice for MAY  2026 on Awakening Curiosity

Chalice Lighting:
This flame is for the questions that follow us home. The ones that refuse to settle, that sit beside us at night. Not every riddle is meant to be solved. Let this light keep open a space where not knowing is allowed to breathe. – Michelle Collins

Reflection:
Curiosity is unruly. It doesn’t like rules, or, at least, it assumes that all rules are provisional, subject to the laceration of a smart question nobody has yet thought to ask. It disdains the approved pathways, preferring diversions, unplanned excursions, impulsive left turns. In short, curiosity is deviant. Pursuing it is liable to bring you into conflict with authority at some point. – Ian Leslie

Chalice Extinguishing:
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart, and try to love the questions themselves… Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then, gradually, without even noticing, live along some distant day into the answer. – Rilke
