i'm sick of schoolwork, in so many ways. mainly i just get frustrated by assignments that have no meaning to me, like required readings that are full of long, big, stupid words and that have no relevance to either my assignment or the class discussions.
but occasionally (ok, most of the time) i come across something that makes sense.
"Perception of this unbreakable link between justice and love is a step toward recognition of the utter freedom of God who cannot be shackled by anything, not even by our ethics and theologies of justice, but can be encountered only within the practice of justice and loving relationships. That means concern for justice will unfold into contemplation of God's gratuitous love adn abounding tenderness, which provide justice with its true horizons, reference points, and depths of meaning. The justice of God is God's love that gives and forgives endlessly. Among such gifts are opportunities and challenges, at times painful and mysterious, to grow to the Everest possibilities of the human heart--opportunities of the kind offered to Job and Jesus."
-Samuel Rayan, "Wrestling in the Night"
something to chew on, eh?
