Wow!!! Moved again!
First paragraph in the chapter 3 of the book i am reading gave great wisdom again! It goes this way: A short story by a spanish writer Carmen Corde tells of a young woman who gives birh to a blind son. "I do not want my child to know that he is blind!" She informed family and neighbours, forbidding anyone to use telltale words such as "light", "colour", and "sight". The boy grew up unaware of his disability until one day a strange girl jump over the fence of the garden and spoils everything by using the forbidden words. His world shatters in the face of this unimagined new reality. In modern times, Christians resemble the strange girl who brings the message from outside. To a sceptic audience they bring rumours of another world beyond the fence, of an afterlife beyond death, of a loving God who is somehow working out His will in the chaotic history of thia planet. As in Carmen Corde's story, the news may not be welcome. We might nor be aware of but the news we bring which is very unfamiliar to most unbelievers will heal them from what this world hindered the to see. "We forget that what is to us an extension of sight is to the rest of the world a peculiar and arrogant blindness."- Flannery O'Connor |
