“The hardest spiritual work in the world is to love the neighbor as the self—to encounter another human being not as someone you can use, change, fix, help, save, enroll, convince or control, but simply as someone who can spring you from the prison of yourself, if you will allow it.”
~ Barbara Brown Taylor (An Altar in the World)

Christ Encounters: A Surreptitious Seeker - March 8, 2020

There is a voice inside me that urges caution.
It tells me to be careful, to keep my head,
not to go too far, not to burn my boats.
I don't want to be carried away with any resolution
which I shall afterward regret,
for I know I shall be feeling quite different after breakfast.
This is my endless recurrent temptation—
to go down to that sea, which is God,
and there neither to dive nor swim nor float,
but only to dabble and splash,
careful not to get out of my depth, and to hold onto
the lifeline that connects me with my temporal things—
the lifeline that proves to be my deathline."

~ C. S. Lewis (The Weight of Glory)
