What do you call a
compilation of stolen ideas? Finding that answer was my first task when
thinking about starting this blog. The moment of wondering was just long enough for
me to begin to think that perhaps you can’t write a compilation of stolen
ideas. Then it hit me, “Essays”, you call this conglomeration of all that
resonates for you from so many different sources “Essays”. These are my Essays,
my instances of resonance. Not that I hope they may happen for you, or even
that they repeat for me, in fact many of them are too painful to
wish for, but that we might begin to recognize where God and our soul’s design
overlap by developing the muscle of resonance. From Eve, this muscle has
atrophied until we see almost none of what God has plaited into our lives and
our world. Like a braid with the third strand pulled out, loosing all the hair.
So our world looks to us, nothing fits together, it simply falls without rhythm
or purpose. The Third Strand is present, it is we who don’t see it, not it that
is not there. Though braid is to
simple a form of weaving, God’s woven tapestry is complex and infinite. It is
my hope that we should see wider and wider glimpses of His work among us, what Lewis calls
mythology (Divine among the non-divine), that we might begin to strengthen the
muscle of resonance and live more fully.
