I nearly let this quote pass on by...but I got hooked by the last sentence, We must be guided by awe to be worthy of faith.
I'm discovering this morning that I have viewed "awe" as fitting only Disney-like stories...fun, fantabulous but fantasy pure and simple.
Interestingly, I found myself accepting Rabbi Heschel's statement without really understanding its message...until the last few words. Now I look forward to pondering the entire message. It is growing wings within me.
More, I'm getting a glimmer that this is the real nature of still more spiritual growth. If it makes no reasoning mind sense yet speaks from our soul to us...ah, there it is, the egoic self's bypass.
Thank you.
