Reflections
Posted by Pelgrim on July 27th, 2008
“Teacher” said the pupil “Why is it that the most zealous in the search for God’s Kingdom are capable of the most horrific extremes and rigid legalism?”
That, my son, is like this pond; what do you see when you look into it?”
“I see myself, teacher”
Now what do you see if you hit the water with your stick?
“then, teacher, I only see troubled water!”
That my son is the problem with the mirror of the soul.
From a work in progress based on Psalm 119, 54 - working title Songs from the wilderness, H. Blum
