"I will lead the blind by a road they do not know, by paths they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. These are the things I will do, and I will not forsake them." - Isaiah 42:16

Our highest truths are but half-truths,
Think not to settle down forever in any truth,
Make use of it as tent in which to pass a summer's night.
But build no house for it, or it will be your tomb.
When you first have an inkling of its insufficiency
And begin to decry a dim counter-truth looming up beyond,
Then weep not, but give thanks, It is the Lord's voice whispering: "Take up your bed and walk."
-A.J. Balfour

"It is the road to God that matters most,
the ragged road, the wood."

May we see just one horizon further into the mystery of your presence among us.
