    Before The One Who Is Mystery Holy One, Mystery, Caring God ....

    Now I know that you are always greater than anything I can think or imagine, and for this I am most grateful. I am glad that I can not locate you, define you, describe you. I used to worry about self-identity, about who I was. Now I am glad not to know, and I can thank you for the mystery of my being.... I do not know how much longer I shall live, nor what shall become of me. I do not know if the way I am trying to live now really is your will. But what I do know is that you are the God of every situation, God in our darkness drawing us to light, God in our sinfulness offering us healing, God in our self-deception leading us into truth, God who is for us, even when we are against ourselves. So I know that if I follow what truth there is in me, then you will draw me further into your truth, and that there is no situation, no state, no place I can reach where you will not still be closer to me than I am to myself. -- adapted from Gerard W. Hughes in "God, Where Are You?"
