Creative scientists and saints expect revelation and do not fear it. Neither do children. But as we grow up and we are hurt, we learned not to trust.

We have to be braver than we think we can be, because God is constantly calling us to be more than we are.

You cannot see the past that did not happen any more than you can foresee the future.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.

The prayer of words cannot be eliminated. And I must pray them daily, whether I feel like praying or not. Otherwise, when God as something to say to me, I will not know how to listen. Until I have worked through self, I will not be enabled to get out of the way.

When I am constantly running there is no time for being. When there is no time for being there is no time for listening.

It does not matter that we cannot fathom this mystery. The only real problem comes when we think that we have.
