“In the winter of the heart...we experience a wide gap between what we know of God and what we taste and see of God. Our theology says one thing - God is loving, faithful, righteous, bestowing wonders. But our experience says another - that he's aloof, angry, capricious, dealing bruises. And we feel deeply alone; even when we're with others, we're estranged from them. Sadness is a room we can't find the door out of.
And worst of all, we feel the encroachment of death. Everything looks dead. We feel dead. Sometimes we wish we were dead.
But Christ, the Man for All Seasons, meets us even here, in the depth of our wintertime. He waits with us. He prunes us. He breaks our self-dependency and deepens our God-dependency. He brings us into a fresh encounter with the God who raises the dead.
And always, the Man for All Seasons leads us out of winter.”

Our suffering, he says, comes from the fight we put up against this fundamental truth.”

“In the woods near the château, it wasn’t unusual to see hedgehogs, especially early in the morning. They would curl up in a ball when I got too close. This reminded me of my father. He could get violently angry, sometimes even in public, but I could feel him curling up, out of fear.”
“In the woods the bluebells seem
Like a blue and magic dream,
Blue water, light and air
Flow among them there.
But the eager girl who pulls
Bluebells up in basketfuls
When she gets them home will find
The magic left behind.”
