I think faith and doubt are sisters who walk hand-in-hand with mutual love and understanding. After sharing this post this morning, I sat down and randomly opened a page in one of the little Meister Eckhart meditation books I love, which is part of my daily practice. The synchronicity of the reading totally blew my mind. I'll have to share it with you soon. Reminds me of the hospice conversation. It's a joy and privilege to walk with you, Danny! Thank you for inviting me to participate in the birthing of the book!
Thank you for introducing Danny and his book. I indeed look forward to getting it!
Brennan Manning in the Furious Longing of God quotes Hans Urs Von Balthasar:
…. Blessed are not the enlightened whose every question has been answered and who are delighted with their own sublime insight, the mature and ripe ones whose one remaining action is to fall from the tree. Blessed, rather, are the chased, the harassed who must daily stand before my enigmas and cannot solve them’…. There is something important for me here .
You're welcome, Vicki; and thank you! There is something important for me in your reply! If you ever get back to Nashville for a visit, I hope you will pop into St. Mary's. You would be most welcome!
Deeply grateful for your presence and voice, Cheryl Anne. Thank you for this post and for walking out our faith and doubts together.
