"All of us are seeking the infinite..." stuck with me.
Sometimes, too, I wonder if this is why we have such a hard time grasping the concept of the Incarnation. Why is it so difficult for us to realize/understand that God came down to us? Trying to reach God by climbing ladders as high as they can go doesn't seem to work, but we still do it. We want the world to be good and great and whole, but we want it to happen in front of huge audiences or with big numbers, and I wonder why that is and where it really started. Why are we so discontent with the simple, slow, and small?
Alyssa, such wise words! There is a wonderful, wonderful essay by Wendell Berry called "Think Little" that speaks to this impulse quite beautifully. Highly recommend!
