Dear Chuck
I think we can think about things we can't define. Higher things are more
difficult to define. Even if they can't be defined at all, it still could
be valuable to think about them. I doubt if there are agreed definitions
for "God" "Prayer" "Beauty" "Truth" "Joy" "Wonder" "The Spritual" "The
Holy Spirit" to brainstorm just a few. To think about love and these
things fully and openmindedly would surely expand our awareness and
understanding, not contract it. I agree that thinking is not the only way
to discover truth. But to think is a gift and to accept and use a gift
honours the giver.
It is a "wonder" to me that we can have conversations at this depth across
the world so quickly and with such freedom. Thank you and all on the list
for enriching my life.
Best wishes,
Nick nickheap@tesco.net
