“We're like Magic 8-Balls. After you ask your question and shake the 8-Ball, you read the answer in the little window. If you ever broke open a Magic 8-Ball with a hammer, you discovered that it contained a many-sided plastic object, with an answer on every facet, floating in a cylinder of murky blue fluid. The many-sided core held the answer to your question. My theory is that, as with our children, as with every surface of that geodesic dome inside the 8-Ball, every age we've ever been is who we are.” IfsChildrenLittlesAgeAsksAnswersMagicObjectsTheoryWindowBallsOur ChildrenBlueSurfaceCoreBrokeWho We AreShakesPlasticFloatingHammersFluidFacetsDomesCylinders Book:Grace (Eventually): Thoughts on Faith Source: Grace (Eventually): Thoughts on Faith

“To find the point where hypothesis and fact meet; the delicate equilibrium between dream and reality; the place where fantasy and earthly things are metamorphosed into a work of art; the hour when faith in the future becomes knowledge of the past; to lay down one's power for others in need; to shake off the old ordeal and get ready for the new; to question, knowing that never can the full answer be found; to accept uncertainties quietly, even our incomplete knowledge of God; this is what man's journey is about, I think.” ThinkingMenLifeNeedsArtFactsDreamRealityPastFoundHoursAnswersAcceptingFantasyKnowingJourneyReadyLaysUncertaintyShakesWorks Of ArtDelicateHypothesisIncompleteEquilibriumDreams And RealityKnowledge Of GodOrdealsEarthly ThingsKnowledge Of The PastIncomplete Knowledge Author:Lillian Smith
