imagination is filling up the fissures through which grace might pass.
the thought of death calls for a counterweight, and this counterweight--apart from grace--cannot be anything but a lie. (life) Our imagination which fills it is essentially a lie.
poor in spirit...imagination is stopped from pouring itself out. we stop trying to translate the world, and simply 'encounter' it (bonhoeffer, buber discussion from barcelona) through grace. (subjective/objective understanding of the world)
"We must continually suspend the work of the imagination filling the void within ourselves."
I am very drawn to the word suspension. learning who God is rather than defining who he is. terms like process, sanctification, enduring the void, renewing of the mind, fervent prayer. (moving towards my typical idea of platforms and leaving room for potential as a form of learning and understanding)...access to subjectivity.
"If we accept no matter what void, what stroke of fate can prevent us from loving the universe?
This is assurance at its fullest.
