Living Mystery
"To be a witness does not consist in engaging in propaganda, nor even in stirring people up, but in being a living mystery. It means to live in such a way that one's life would not make sense if God did not exist."
-- Emmanuel, Cardinal Suhard
I've been reading Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art by Madeleine L'Engle. She included the above quote, and it's been pulsing through my bloodstream ever since I first read it. What does it mean to be a writer? An artist? And a Christian one?
to live in such a way that one's life would not make sense if God did not exist...
Is that how I'm living? Is that how I'm writing?
a living mystery ...
What does it mean? Or maybe that's the wrong question.
What does it look like?
