Juxtaposition

This thought filters through from Anthony DeMello’s One Minute Wisdom: We don’t need to put God in our lives so much as to recognize that he is already there.  I am reminded of the bumper sticker – “If you find yourself distant from God, guess who moved.”  Those sound a bit trite as I process them, but nonetheless true.  The word that comes to mind here is “juxtaposition,” which Webster’s defines as “the act or an instance of placing two or more things side by side, often to compare or contrast or to create an interesting effect.” Interesting, indeed!
