The Secret of Serenity

must lie in possibility--no wonder Tillich saw that that alone is God, for He lurks far beyond a faith that follows formula, beyond the trials and the smiles that plague the heart with stables, hallowed hills and angels dancing for delighted eyes. No wonder there is weariness. No wonder faith offends for it attends an errant scholarship, a forced conformity and being, thus prescribed and sealed away from every dawn of light. Being so defined can never be serene. It takes another kind of courage to let go, let in the mind that dares to breathe a wind we never knew before, a cosmic wind, content to teach that love is not the easy thing to do; it must be everything. With it all, one secret--there upon the tablet of the mind. There lies true bravery that would-be heroes seek but rarely find: the courage just to Be! ~
