Dareto be illogical. Dare to deal in what you feel to be true confessing that what we think has limits. Deal with paradox. Enter int othe place where doubt and belief, unbelef and confession become one. One of the greatest prayers is for unity, east to west, male to female, Gentile to Jew. It is said that once Man was one, male and female, divided in Eden. The Aleu prays that God may be one and, who can say, the Shema may not confess that God is one, but insist that one day God will be. Now we experience God and our lives all fractured, then, we believe, all that is divided shall be brought together. I believe this means it already is together, that we are praying not for it to happen, but forthe time when we can see it, just as praying for the eventual sunrise doens
t change the fact that the sun is always there. In that place things which seem so ifferent and often inimical are one, like belief and unbelief, like worship and the insistence that worship is not possible. In this velvet blackness, my God, I come to you.
