Our lives can be
described as an encounter with the world around us, encompassing everything and
anything – people, culture, environment, ideas, emotions, and all the “stuff of
life”. It is our nature to try and
understand and find our place in all of this, and we do this in one of two
ways: analytically with our heads, or emotionally with our hearts. Neither is right or wrong. They are simply two ways of experiencing
the same thing. So when I feel the
need to reach out to God, I can do so without confining him to my
imagination. In my heart he
becomes real. And this experience
is not diminished or negated when intellectually I express my doubts and
dis-beliefs.
It may all be a bit
schizophrenic, but it seems to work.
