"Conversations about faith are endless, and exemplify Solomon’s conclusion “of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body.” After all the logic, rhetoric, and intellectual posturing about “faith,” we remain miserably incomplete. Words and human reason, no matter how spiritual sounding, can only point to the Way."
"At its essence, the bible becomes a roadmap which calls us from a fallen world of polarity and dualism, into a reality of wholeness and unity – free from risings and fallings, light and dark, good and evil. The bible points beyond itself, beyond its sayings and words, to an awe-some Presence.
So what is an appropriate faith? Perhaps it’s simply a perennial reminder for us to “stand in awe of God” – to sit quietly at the foot of the cross: to be taken up by its singular presence and consumed by its singular purpose, unchaining us from endless mental exercises." Thoughts on faith fromMicrolesia

I'm impressed- inward thoughts outward.
These things have a habit of calling us into a strange manner of accountability.
