St. Gregory of Nyssa said, "Only wonder understands anything."
Dave appears to be a seeker, trying, like many of us, to sort through what we see and what we feel. One's seeking over the course of a lifetime takes on many shades and contours, moves in and out of shadows, but hopefully is gradually moving toward light.
We American's like our understanding pre-packaged and easy to consume, but it seems to me that deeper understanding resides more in wonder than linear, rational, scholastic thinking.
Dave reminds me of ee cummings, in that he has a pure honesty that recoils from from know-it-all, systematic, plastic, shallow answers, yet he is drawn to a selfless type of love (for his wife, for his kids, for the oppressed, for all people and all creation).
I'm inspired by Dave's on-going honest search and blessed that he's able to articulate his journey in a way that helps similar souls tap into a a type of understanding that ultimately stands in silent awe at the wonder.
