“By His gracious condescension God became man and is called man for the sake of man and by exchanging His condition for ours revealed the power that elevates man to God through his love for God and brings God down to man because of His love for man. By this blessed inversion, man is made God by divinization and God is made man by hominization. For the Word of God and God wills always and in all things to accomplish the mystery of His embodiment.” MenMadeChristianMysteryConditionsAll ThingsBlessedSakeAccomplishGods WillGod LoveOrthodoxWord Of GodHis LoveGraciousOrthodox ChristianEmbodimentExchangingCondescensionInversions Author:Maximus the Confessor

“Once there were brook trout in the streams in the mountains. You could see them standing in the amber current where the white edges of their fins wimpled softly in the flow. They smelled of moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery.” MenWorldMadeHandsWhiteMysteryBecomingMountainStandingFlowAll ThingsDestructionPatternsEdgesCurrentsStreamsMapsBrooksPolishedMossMazesAmberTroutRoad MapsFinsWonder And Mystery Book:The Road Source: The Road
“To have humility is to experience reality, not in relation to ourselves, but in its sacred independence. It is to see, judge, and act from the point of rest in ourselves. Then, how much disappears, and all that remains falls into place. In the point of rest at the center of our being, we encounter a world where all things are at rest in the same way. Then a tree becomes a mystery, a cloud a revelation, each man a cosmos of whose riches we can only catch glimpses. The life of simplicity is simple, but it opens to us a book in which we never get beyond the first syllable.” MenWorldWayFirstsBookRealityFallSimpleMysteryTreeHumilityJudgingAll ThingsRelationIndependenceRemainsSacredSimplicityCloudsDisappearRichesEncountersRevelationsCosmosGlimpseSyllablesFall Into PlaceAll That Remains Author:Dag Hammarskjold
