Life is full of unexplainable things, and it can make us uncomfortable to not have the right words or complete understanding. We love certainties because they give the illusion of control, even though there is so little that is certain about anything in our lives. And yet those moments where our hearts or our guts speak before our heads are often the moments that lead us to something expansive and transformative.
Some of life’s gifts come from embracing the new encounters we sense to be unique, without having to know or steer what direction they might take.
Reading, like art, has always felt to me like it has a sacramental nature, as a channel for something that can reshape and transform us. In the pages of a book there lies the same opportunity to have those burning heart moments. We are compelled by an encounter with the words to see and study ourselves or our world with a new perspective.
