Every now and then something will come up that will be an enigma to me and I will spend time trying to figure it out. At this moment that would be Trop Rock. I had never heard this term until Cindy started talking and posting and writing about it. What is and what is not Trop Rock music and where is the dividing line. Why is Jimmy Buffet Trop Rock and Alan Jackson not? Are the Beach Boys the original Trop Rock musicians? What keeps "Galveston" from being a Trop Rock song? What is a Trop Rock lifestyle and how is that different from a country lifestyle?
I know I can be obsessed at times when it comes to enigmas. This obsession can and has cause changes in my life. It was an enigma that took me from being concerned about people in traditional church who "fell through the cracks" and dropped out (along with trying to make sense out of what happened to me within church and why I could no longer find comfort and belonging there) to a new outlook on church community and following God.
I could go on and on about the enigmas in my life but by now you have the picture. I have found that when I let myself look at the mysteries around me and allow questions to come then whether or not I find any answers, my life is enriched
