Yes, very good, Theophil, thank you so much. I recognize this quotation as something I have read before, and of course there are many similar ones. I say to God, "I don't find that freedom in myself and will not pretend I have it nor even that I believe I have it. But Your words are so very beautiful. Their beauty, not their content so much, is what I understand, I feel it with my whole being the way I feel music that is great and true. The beauty of Your words is what convinces me that they must be true even if I can't find that truth in myself yet. I believe You without believing You, I trust You without trusting You. If Your words reverberate within, it very likely means You are there, within. Just as the music is. If I find myself unable to exercise the freedom You are speaking of to make the choices You are speaking of, You will." Reading the tea leaves as sweet and precious George does, I might surmise that this is about letting go and letting God. Or perhaps I'm just lazy and irresponsible.

I wrote more about this a couple of days ago, just for myself. It feels a little strang to direct someone else there, but if you are interested it's here:
