“How do you calculate upon the unforeseen? It seems to be an art of recognizing the role of the unforeseen, of keeping your balance amid surprises, of collaborating with chance, of recognizing that there are some essential mysteries in the world and thereby a limit to calculation, to plan, to control.

But it doesn't necessarily follow from this that they are also the basic, salient entities of economic life or that they are particularly useful for probing the mysteries of economic structure, the reasons for rise and decline of wealth.

“One of the major symptoms of the general crisis existent in our world today is our lack of sensitivity to words. We use words as tools. We forget that words are a repository of the spirit.

Reverence for words - an awareness of the wonder of words, of the mystery of words - is an essential prerequisite for prayer. By the word of God the world was created.” WorldUseTodaySpiritPrayerForgetWonderMysteryAwarenessBrokenEssentialsApproachMajorsToolsTragedyCrisisOur TimeOur WorldWord Of GodReverenceSensitivitySymptomsVesselWorld TodayPrerequisites Author:Abraham Joshua Heschel
