2019 … Back out on The Way
And then the warmer days of the following spring indeed arrived, and I offered my fond farewells once more and headed back out onto The Road …
“You can’t expect anyone to see the wondrous if he hasn’t experienced the same himself. Indeed those who haven’t done so only know blind faith or hollow reason. And since the revelation of the ever-present numinous is itself a thing apart, and cannot be properly accounted for by either faith or reason, those who worship at either of those altars will never believe you when you tell them of life’s deeper majesty – never will see the wondrousness even when you show it to them quite plainly. And this is the great division of humanity and always has been – those who see the Beauty and the Oneness and choose to deed accordingly, and those who do not. And yet when faith and reason and revelation all run together and melt into a singularity of humble amazement, why, then you have something truly great indeed.” ~ inspired by Mark Helprin
