For me, this wondrous universe cannot be an incoherent and accidental cosmos, nor can it be grounded in evil, although I admit that this intellectual leap and bias toward beauty is still an act of faith and trust. -- Fr Richard Rohr, "Daily Meditation," February 25, 2018
It is a comfort to read Rohr's intellectual leap and bias toward beauty is still an act of faith and trust as opposed to a gutbucket knowing. Sometimes, not always but sometimes, it feels an act of faith and trust is my entire spiritual foundation.
If it is, that is enough.
Not to split hairs, but what soul comfort has the fact that 2 + 2 = 4 ever given me? That's probably the equation that assures the world is going around and in the right direction, but it's hard for me to feel peace, love or joy because of it.
Whether a blinding flash of the obvious or a self-determined objective, the fact is I'm at peace with my intellectual leap upward toward the Father within being enough...right Now.
The intuitive advice I lean on is still, Hold your nose and take a leap of faith.
Thank you.
