"The sense that in the universe we are treated as strangers, the longing to be acknowledged, to meet with some response, to bridge some chasm that yawns between us and reality, is part of our inconsolable secret.”
Oh Jack, Clive Staples Lewis, I feel it. That constant pull to be 'taken into the dance,' to be One with the Creator and join in that indescribable Something. Maybe that's what drives the artist and the scientist.
I draw the sunset and join the colors and warmth, I bridge the chasm and make it part of me and me part of it. Or a sparrow's song brings inspiration for a song from my heart, and we are One.
I discover for myself which stars my friend in Uruguay can see. I think I hear a meteor make sounds and discover that some really do produce vibrations that my ear can detect and I join Creator in the dance.
Let's open ourselves these holy days to the Bridge, to the One who holds the key to the Secret and would joyfully console us and make us strangers no longer.
1 Cor. 2:7 No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. 8 None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"-- 10 but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
