Day 20 | The loving voice of wisdom (& G.K. Chesterton)
Description
Everyday I ask the loving voice of wisdom, which dwells in our hearts and in this world: “What would you have me know today?” And then I listen. This is what I heard one day, not long ago…
From elsewhere:
“We need this life of practical romance; the combination of something that is strange with something that is secure.” (G.K. Chesterton)
From my heart:
You do that, I see you, everyday when you invoke the energy of the hermit and the energy of the pilgrim, together.
Your heart stirred, when you were young and unmarried, at the idea of wedding two pulls within you—the vagabond and the homesteader, together.
You have longed for a life—long been faithful to the life—of practical romance.
But do you see, even now, how you grip that longing? how you are grasping after life?
You need not grip or grasp.
What you long for is how things are.
And it’s yours to simply receive.
