More From Abraham Lincoln

A question arises regarding the angels who dwell with us, serve us and protect us, whether their joys are equal to those of the angels in heaven, or whether they are diminished by the fact that they protect and serve us. no, they are certainly not; for the work of the angels is the will of god, and the will of god is the work of the angels; their service to us does not hinder their joy nor their working. if god told an angel to go to a tree and pluck caterpillars off it, the angel would be quite ready to do so, and it would be his happiness, if it were the will of god.
Angel Protect And Serve Heaven
A few years ago the deists denied the inspiration of the bible on account of its cruelty. at the same time they worshiped what they were pleased to call the god of nature. now we are convinced that nature is as cruel as the bible; so that, if the god of nature did not write the bible, this god at least has caused earthquakes and pestilence and famine, and this god has allowed millions of his children to destroy one another. so that now we have arrived at the question - not as to whether the bible is inspired and not as to whether jehovah is the real god, but whether there is a god or not.

...nameless, unknown to me as you were, i couldn't forget your voice!' 'for how long?' 'o - ever so long. days and days.' 'days and days! only days and days? o, the heart of a man! days and days!' 'but, my dear madam, i had not known you more than a day or two. it was not a full-blown love - it was the merest bud - red, fresh, vivid, but small. it was a colossal passion in embryo. it never returned.

Most of us do not understand nuclear fission, but we accept it. i don't understand television, but i accept it. i don't understand radio, but every week my voice goes out around the world, and i accept it. why is it so easy to accept all these man-made miracles and so difficult to accept the miracles of the bible?

Sad, indeed, would the whole matter be if the bible had told us everything god meant us to believe. but herein is the bible greatly wronged. it nowhere lays claim to be regarded as the word, the way, the truth. the bible leads us to jesus, the inexhaustible, the ever-unfolding revelation of god. it is christ "in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge," not the bible, save as leading to him.

Israel is a fulfillment, and as a fulfillment, it is flawed. dreams fulfilled are imperfect. and, israel is imperfect, of course it is - a far cry from the monumental dreams of the founding fathers. one of the reasons is that their dreams were unrealistic. they were bigger than life. these were messianic dreams, dreams about total redemption for the jews, for the world. such dreams do not come true, not in their entirety.

As a novelist, you could say that i am dreaming while i am awake, and every day i can continue with yesterday's dream. because it is a dream, there are so many contradictions and i have to adjust them to make the story work. but, in principle, the original dream does not change.

Over and over again, stories in women's magazines insist that women can know fulfillment only at the moment of giving birth to a child. they deny the years when she can no longer look forward to giving birth, even if she repeats the act over and over again. in the feminine mystique, there is no other way for a woman to dream of creation or of the future. there is no other way she can even dream about herself, except as her children's mother, her husband's wife.

Thus my faith grew that my beautiful dream for the future would become reality after all, even though this might require long years.
Beautiful Dream Reality
Sometimes i feel as though there are two me's, one coasting directly on top of the other: the superficial me, who nods when she's supposed to nod and says what she's supposed to say, and some other, deeper part, the part that worries and dreams... most of the time they move along in sync and i hardly notice the split, but sometimes it feels as though i'm two whole different people and i could rip apart at any second.
