Читать книгу Wording a Radiance - Daniel W. Hardy - Страница 5

‘I’ve been content ever since the onset of this cancer to be drawn into death, but I don’t take this negatively at all: it is also being drawn into life and the two are closely tied together . . . I don’t know how: being drawn into death is also being drawn into life . . . Perhaps I am being a sort of sign of attraction, going ahead of you into the mystery, an attraction not into anything clear and unambiguous but into a light that is the mystery of death and life, and therein God.’

‘These things are to do with fundamental impulses in me: to go deeper and deeper into things, for myself and with others; but it is more than that, it’s how you reach into that to find greater depths which are found again to be the depths of God. This is about my almost insatiable concern for God, not just for knowledge about God but a more insatiable thirst again than that . . .’

‘. . . it is a question of allowing the divine to flood in without inhibition. I can’t get away from the fact that a lot more is to be said about how things and people are knit together in the divine abundance – an indefinite resource of human wholeness, and wholeness for the universe too. What is it that people are growing into? There is a far more profound human integrity than we have yet glimpsed. What is it that grows a good, whole human being and a good society?’
