The last book of the Christian scriptures is the Book of Revelation.  It is a book that tells of the end times. People have speculated on the metaphorical descriptions and been working to decipher its meanings presumably since the beginning.  The idea of revelation often has a very dramatic underpinning  even in every day language.  God is ready to reveal all kinds of things to us all the time. Some dramatic, most simple.  The only way for us to experience revelation is to let go of the idea of what we think we know.  For something to be revealed we are called to be open to possibility, newness of sight, and awareness.  Revelation asks us to be in a space of discovery and questioning.  This is why children are so excited and amazed when they uncover something because a new idea has been revealed to them.  Over time we become hardened by those revelations and turn them into beliefs we think cannot be questioned.  The gift of revelation comes from the courage to let go of the fixed idea. It is a gift of being present in the moment.
