“We are an impossibility in an impossible universe.” ― Ray Bradbury

The impossibilities of our existence are more than a matter of statistics and probabilities. Our stories remind us of the tensions that we are called to live, our impossible longings, and the contradictions that are part of being human.

They also tell us that wonder is essential to approaching life with a sense of adventure, and to cultivating the curiosity and compassion that we need to stay open to the marvelous richness of our experience.

A sense of wonder is what inspires me to share the story that I have for you today. It's a Norwegian fairy tale called "Valemon the White Bear King," and it begins with a great and beautiful mystery, a powerful dream.
