WATERS FROM A DEEP WELL

“During my journey through life I have moved in and out of agnosticism and even atheism, as I became bewildered by what mankind has done to God; and so, too often I see God in man’s image, rather than the other way around. But I cannot live for long in this dead-end world, but return to the more open places of my child’s intuitive love of God, where I know that all creatures are the concern of the God who created the galaxies, and who nevertheless notes the fall of each sparrow. And from the darkness I cry out: God!”

Madeleine L’Engle, The Irrational Season, 1977
