My Bright Abyss Quotes

“If eternity touched you, if all the trappings of time and self were stripped away and you were all soul, if God "happened" to you-then isn't it possible that the experience could not be translated back into the land of pumps is and pickup trucks, the daily round wherein we use words like self and soul, revelation and conversion, as if we knew what those words meant?”
― Christian Wiman, My Bright Abyss: Meditation of a Modern Believer
