The Enormity of Existence, Part 2

This world is so heavy upon us, we scarcely can know of the Other as it impinges on this world of flesh and bone, air and water, sky and mountain, man and woman.... Our bodies are too fine-- instruments of unending sensation from birth to death, our brains so vast in imagination... yet so small in comprehension. We live in fear and longing: we sin...repent...sin again. We pass by our neighbors with barely a glance, while we turn on our beloved with blindness, with deafness-- little wonder why we despair. The great wonder is-- why we are loved... each of us so difficult, so repulsive at times... yet with just a slight turn of the magnet and we are bound together once again. The most magnificent wonder of all is why He loves us-- blind little bugs scurrying about in the dark, sentient of the mud but insensate of the glory until we are transformed by the Light and can see Heaven cupped in our hands and feel, at last, the Eternal beating deep within our hearts.
