“A Taste for the Unknown”

by Dr. Larry Morris

In India there is a delicious fruit called an apple custard. The outside is red and resembles our apples; but the inside has an exquisite custardy texture and flavor. We can go all over our part of the world and never encounter a fruit with such an unusual flavor. When we wish to experience something beyond that which we already know, sometimes we have to travel to where we have never been. Likewise with our spiritual growth and development; to experience a new or deeper realization about the meaning of our life, we may need to spiritually stretch beyond where we've come so far. We may need to release the old, known way and allow ourselves to experience the unknown and, like the apple custard, to taste the joy of unknown good.
