Zitat des Tages von Krista Tippett:
One of the things I reject in our cultural divisions is the clash between faith and reason, and I would say the same about mystery and intellect. They are somehow mysteriously akin to each other.
Being intellectually hospitable is a virtue that I bring into the interview space.
Mystery is a birthright of theology and faith, but you often do find religious people grasping for answers that shut things down and narrow what is possible.
Kindness is an everyday byproduct of all the great virtues.
I had been a journalist in Europe and then went to divinity school in the early 1990s, and came out as somebody who had the perspective of a journalist and was now also theologically educated.
Structure is something that calms our nature; we know this of toddlers.
If we can't face our losses, we can't be present either fully to everything that is. When people have cut off or not made peace with some part of themselves, they miss out on other aspects of life.
You are not going to be perfect every day. It's about turning up the next day and doing it again.
