Mellon Collection, public domain] Every year I am struck all over again by the narrative beauty and authority of the text that rests at the heart of my faith. It’s astonishing to me that every human effort, whether deliberately malicious or keenly subtle or clumsily ignorant, to distort and ruin this text for us cannot distort or ruin it for me. I can’t account for this. The fact quietly bypasses reason without, however, outraging reason on the way.
Yes. Amen.
Thank you for the invitation and inspiration to reverence. Sometimes beholding is enough.
Amen.
This is a BEAUTIFUL reflection, Katy -- thank you for sharing it!
Thank you!!
