Reflection for the Week - June 22
Finding shelter in
our world from the vacuous and inconsequential is harder and harder to do; the
rhythm of trite leaves us exposed to a devaluing of heart, mind, and
imagination. Rapid-fire bs captures the air waves and infiltrates our capacity
to think clear and true thoughts that can be lived, in contrast to the
prevailing and woeful meltdown of the critical adventure. While it’s true that
criticism is never to be an end in and of itself, it is an essential component
to chasten naïveté and to promote the virtuous life of following in the
footsteps of Christ. Engage, critique, embrace―the Infinite One, other, and world; the given of giveness and the
power of this trinity that offers us the spooky haven of relationality; the
space to dwell in oneself as another.
