quote of the week

"Communion with God is more often an intuition or inner conviction that God's heart is greater than your heart, God's mind is greater than your human mind, and God's light is so much greater than your light that it might blind you and make you feel like you're in the night."

Henri Nouwen

  1. Occasionally, I'm struck with this conviction. I wish it lasted. Haven't read much of Nouwen, but he seems like the bomb.

    and i really like this quote. it eases the questions i tend to run around.
