“We come. We go. And in between we try to understand.” Rod Steiger
That pretty much sums it up. It initially sounds a bit cynical, but in reality, some days, sometimes, in some situations, I see/understand more/better than others. In this I am reminded of 1 Corinthians 13:12 which speaks of seeing “a poor reflection in a mirror” (NIV) or seeing “through a glass, darkly.”
I see what I see, as I see it through all those self-created filters (my bias, my prejudice, my imperfect understanding…) It occurs to me that the solace rests in the thought that the key is not the result (the “poor reflection” I see at any given point) but in my continued effort to understand/see more clearly — and in the assurance in that same passage that “then I shall know fully.”
It occurs to me...
