How could God be hidden? Or said differently: how could what is real be hidden? How could we think that study and teaching and special teachers and scientists and prophets had to save us? What then of the lost boy on an island with no access? What then of the broken wounded boy in the city who was tortured by the teacher? . Whatever is truest, most useful, most demanded by God… it must be the most free, the most common. The full truth of the universe must be on the back of a stupid bug on the sidewalk, or not exist at all. . I’ve spent so many years feverishly buying books looking for the right teaching, the truest revelation. Maybe C.S. Lewis knows? Maybe Alan Watts? Maybe Carl Sagan? Thinking that if I didn’t study hard enough, look hard enough, the truth would turn away from me. . Ha. There is just as much truth in the dead ink on the dead tree bark paper as there is in the words. . Words help but they aren’t the answer. “They are a finger pointing at the moon. They aren’t the moon.” . Put down the book for a minute and behold the ant on your shoe. It is enough. You belong. Relax. #widen2016 -- source link
