Answerless Questions Are The Best Kind

Answerless questions are the best kind. What’s more, it seems that the things that can’t be figured out can still be seen to be true. Confession , not of sin but of ignorance, and meditation, not on some mantra but on the created, yield results that are different from analysis, and much more powerful.
Faith, as the early Christian says, does not mean belief. It means the abundance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen.

What is beauty? Beauty is a sum not reducible to its parts. It is a perception of harmony in variety. What is worship? To worship means not to figure out, not to analyze, not to pin down like a dries butterfly on a grid, but to value. Deeply to value.
