The Key to the Kingdom Comments

wow! gross gets as close as anyone can, i think, to describing something that is hard to describe, transient but transforming. i think it's a moment like i try to describe in my haiku driving north when the sun rises over the mountains. where is home really? gross describes it- where your are received. by whom? i know it is by God. just as we are- sins and all, faults and all- God loves us because love is what God is and does. gross is describing, it seems to me, a moment of clarity when we see this, when we know this. but it's only a moment- but its borders ripple outwards- into the way we see, into our perspective on life- but it's already fading. but all it takes is a moment! will you laugh or cry? both. perhaps both at the same time- for the joy of this realization. i sobbed. such a moment unmoors us but is wonderful. we know a secret now. we have a knowing that is beneath- a foundation- and that lasts after the passing show of this world. glen kappy
