Going too far into metaphysics can distort our shared world... Going too far into materialism can shrink it until it’s not worth inhabiting...

We’ve lived in the realm of thought, of commentary, of third hand experience for so long that we’ve begun to hunger for the first hand taste of being. Not an idea of God or a metaphor for meaning but an encounter. The thing itself. In the West especially, we’re hungry for it...
