As you do not know the path of the wind,<\/strong> As I write these things Anne is in the kitchen cleaning out the freezer. Me, I’m doing the lofty things, contemplating God and the universe.<\/p>\n I’ve often been intrigued with the passage above. It’s right out of the Bible, the book that talks the most about knowing God. The point isn’t that we can’t know God, just that there’s infinitely more to know.<\/p>\n Any person or generation not ready to admit this is shortsighted at best, arrogant at worst. Or maybe it’s just “human.”<\/p>\n “God,” says an old hymn, “hides Himself in light.”<\/p>\n No wonder we can’t see Him. Or do we . . . in everything?<\/p>\n And what about the universe beyond . . . where we can barely see . . . or not at all?<\/p>\n Is God way out there and way in here too? Is He keeping the cosmos together and at the same time\u00a0aware of (and concerned\u00a0with) my little plans and worries?<\/p>\n If the wonders of nature weren’t enough to bowl us over,\u00a0what about the not-just-imaginative speculations into parallel universes, quantum physics, chaos theory, and mathematically dividing infinity by infinity?<\/p>\n It’s real evidences of such\u00a0phenomena\u00a0that certain very bright minds among us are\u00a0grappling\u00a0with. And what about the mind itself? A complete mystery . . . not to mention the brain that carries it . . . an inner\u00a0galaxy\u00a0in gray mud that no one understands.<\/p>\n I suddenly recall the words of some modern mystic I read: “Lord, who are you? And for that matter, who am I?”<\/p>\n It’s all beyond knowing.<\/p>\n For now I think I’ll go help Anne clean out the freezer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ____________________ You only thought you understood anything at all.
