Parable, I enjoyed this post too! It was Thomas Carlyle, I believe, who said, "There are two worlds: the one we measure with line and rule, and the one we feel with our hearts and our imaginations.".... And I like these lines by Emily Dickinson: "I never saw a moor, I never saw the sea; yet know I how the heather looks, and what a wave must be.... I never spoke with God, nor visited in heaven; yet certain am I of the spot as if the chart were given." And most of all I like, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1) Parable, I have come to a time in my life (and to a certain degree of spiritual maturity I believe) where I see faith as being a reality at least equal to the "line and rule" -- to use Carlyle's words -- of the physical world. In fact, I would venture to say that in some respects it is more so. With every good wish to you, --Hank | ||||||

We seem to know, without anyone telling us, right from wrong, real from imaginary and true from false. Yet how often we choose wrong, imaginary and false over right, real and true. The knowledge of good and evil is indeed dangerous if all you have is a fallen nature! I have come to a point in my life where the "line and rule", although useful for the world, is more like a shimmering mirage, and the truth of faith, although unmeasureable, is the oasis in the desert. |
