Why Does the High Priest Enter the Holiest Place Through a Cloud?

We often imagine that clarity must come before action: first the fog will lift, then we will know what to do. But some of the most important decisions arrive precisely when the full picture is hidden. The cloud becomes an image of faithful movement without false certainty. This does not mean ignoring evidence or acting recklessly. It means recognizing that responsible life sometimes requires a next step before the entire path is visible. Wisdom asks for enough clarity to act, not impossible certainty about every consequence.
