"When we are stunned to the place byond words, we're finally starting to get somewhere. It is so much more comfortable to think that we know what it all means, what to expect and how it all hangs together. When we are stunned to the place beyond words, when as aspect of life takes us away from being able to chip away at something until it's down to a manageable size and then to file it away nicely, when all we can say in response is "Wow," that's a prayer."
