“This sort of feeling has been growing stronger in me: a hint of eternity steals through the smallest daily activities and perceptions. I am not alone in my tiredness or sickness or fears, but at one with millions of others from many centuries, and it is all part of life.”
In the life of faith, we are consistently presented with the premise … “and there is more ….” Every “eureka”, every “I get it now”, every insight is met with another portal. I see the “picture” and then witness it slowly dissolve, becoming a window of something beyond. As the authored noted, it is hints of eternity stealing through the smallest activities and perceptions.
And how different church becomes and faith becomes when held this way. There is a human natural tendency to nail it down, to place church and faith within four walls, under prescribed times and set sacraments. And yet even those in the end will be shot through with eternity, with a limitlessness, with an invitation to more movement.
