Theology Today Journal Club retreat occurs three times per year. Participants this time will share insights on the poetry of Nobel Laureate Czeslaw Milosz. His work reflects hope in a cultural wasteland.
I had done everything I knew how to do to draw as near to the heart of God as I could only to find myself out of gas on a lonely road, filled with bitterness and self-pity. To suppose that I had ended up in such a place by the grace of God required a significant leap of faith. If I could open my hands, then all that fell from them might flower on the way down. If I could let myself fall, then I too might land in a fertile place.
