“The more recollected a
man is, and the more simple of heart he becomes, the easier he understands
sublime things, for he receives the light of knowledge from above.”*
I often wonder while watching America play out on the media’s
stage, “How do these people develop their world view, what is animating them to
be who they are and do what they do?” It
seems that America is recollecting itself from nothing but a hodgepodge of SNL,
Facebook, Friends and Disney. What would
truly help Americans is to search out and see the sublime (the Mississippi
River comes to mind) and then ask our self, why/Who?
But I must confess that Kempis has forced me to examine my own
being as to what is animating me to be and do!
*Kempis, The Imitation of
Christ
