If only that moment of light could last! If only we could root ourselves deeply in the world and be at peace! And if only its best and happiest moments could be persuaded to linger\u2026. and this text reminds us all too clearly for our comfort, that this longing for security and bliss in the present moment is incompatible with the Christian faith, and is doomed to inevitable frustration.
