Indeed, when god's glory dwells in me, there is nothing too far away, nothing too painful, nothing too strange or too familiar that it cannot contain and renew by its touch. every time i recognize the glory of god in me and give it space to manifest itself to me, all that is human can be brought there and nothing will be the same again.

More From Henri Nouwen

But as van casually directed the searchlight of backthought into that maze of the past where the mirror-lined narrow paths not only took different turns, but used different levels (as a mule-drawn cart passes under the arch of a viaduct along which a motor skims by), he found himself tackling, in still vague and idle fashion, the science that was to obsess his mature years - problems of space and time, space versus time, time-twisted space, space as time, time as space - and space breaking away from time, in the final tragic triumph of human cogitation: i am because i die.

And the fear of not being is born in that space. but in meditation, when this is understood, the mind can enter into a dimension of space where action is inaction. we do not know what love is, for in the space made by thought around itself as the me, love is the conflict of the me and the not-me. this conflict, this torture, is not love. thought is the very denial of love, and it cannot enter into that space where the me is not. in that space is the benediction which man seeks and cannot find. he seeks it within the frontiers of thought, and thought destroys the ecstasy of this benediction.
Love Is Men Space
Quite generally, the familiar, just because it is familiar, is not cognitively understood. the commonest way in which we deceive either ourselves or others about understanding is by assuming something as familiar, and accepting it on that account; with all its pros and cons, such knowing never gets anywhere, and it knows not why.... the analysis of an idea, as it used to be carried out, was, in fact, nothing else than ridding it of the form in which it had become familiar.

What the latins have done in this text (1 john v, 7) the greeks have done to paul (1 tim. iii, 16). they now read, "great is the mystery of godliness; god manifest in the flesh"; whereas all the churches for the first four or five hundred years, and the authors of all the ancient versions, jerome as well as the rest, read, "great is the mystery of godliness, which was manifest in the flesh." our english version makes it yet a little stronger. it reads, "great is the mystery of godliness: god was manifest in the flesh."
Latin Years Greek
The most important human endeavor is the striving for morality in our actions. our inner balance and even our very existence depend on it. only morality in our actions can give beauty and dignity to life. albert einstein it is the function of art to renew our perception. what we are familiar with we cease to see. the writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it.

Strip back the beliefs pasted on by governesses, schools, and states, you find indelible truths at one's core. rome'll decline and fall again, cortés'll lay tenochtitlán to waste again, and later, ewing will sail again, adrian'll be blown to pieces again, you and i'll sleep under the corsican stars again, i'll come to bruges again, fall in and out of love with eva again, you'll read this letter again, the sun'll grow cold again. nietzsche's gramophone record. when it ends, the old one plays it again, for an eternity of eternities.
