Friday December 7th:
I am come as a light into a world
that does deny itself everything
The Holy Instant
In Louisville, at the corner of Fourth and Walnut… in the center of the shopping district, I was suddenly overwhelmed
with the realization that I loved all those people, that they were mine and I theirs, that we could not be alien to one another even though we were total strangers.
It was like waking from a dream of separateness, of spurious self-isolation in a special world, the world of renunciation and supposed holiness.
This sense of liberation from an illusory difference was such a relief and such a joy to me that I almost laughed out loud!
I have the immense joy of being a member of a race in which God became incarnate…
There is no way of telling people that they are all walking around shining like the sun.
-Thomas Merton
