Brief Glimpses of Wisdom

When I was visiting in Arlington last week, my son said to me something like "God does not exist". It was in the context of something else, not religion, so we did not follow the conversation anywhere, but it stuck with me, probably because I agreed with him - in the context we were speaking about, I don't believe that an all powerful judging God to be found somewhere up there, exists either.
But - there is always a but to everything, isn't there? But, sometimes I am privileged to read or hear brief glimpses of wisdom about the nature of God, the common experience of a group of worshipers, etc., that make me want to continue on a spiritual path, whatever the answers to the questions seem to be.
This morning I read a passage by Tom Ehrich that spoke powerfully to me. He says, "The Church doesn't "own" the truth, either, despite its historic claims to be the sole custodian of God's desires. The Church occasionally glimpses the truth, as do countless musicians, artists, writers, parents raising children, farmers watching for rain, couples falling in love, people facing death, and dreamers eating new foods in new places". Those are concepts of the divine that speak to me.
