witness

on numerous occasions in the past i have almost picked up madeleine l'engle's book, walking on water, but have not gotten very far. this morning, before i headed for starbucks, i grabbed it, and i think i'm in for good this time.

i've already written a whole slew of quotes in my journal, but this one that ML'E quoted is pretty super:

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. {cardinal suhard}

would my life make sense if there was no God?

my fear is that on too many days the answer would be closer to 'yes'...
