What's really real?
"....I was sitting at a dinner table with friends discussing the economic depression of the country.
We kept throwing our statistics that made us increasingly convinced that things could only get worse.
Then, suddenly, the four year old son of one of my friends opened the door, ran to his father and said,
'Look, Daddy! Look! I found a little kitten in the yard .... Look! ... Isn't she cute?'
While showing the kitten to his father, the little boy stroked the kitten with his hands, and held it against his face.
All at once everything changed.
The little boy and his kitten became the center of attention.
There were smiles, strokes and many tender words.
We were surprised by joy.
God became a little child in the midst of a violent world.
Are we surprised by joy or do we keep saying: "How nice and sweet, but the reality is different,"
What if the child reveals to us what is really real?"
...... by Henri Nouwen

늘상 우리에게 정신적 양식을 제공하여 우리들을 일깨워주시는
한중형의 노력에 감사드리고 있습니다.
이사람도 요즈음 '금강경 강해'를 읽고 있는데 내용자체가 심오
하여 아침에 눈뜨자 그리고 자기전에 몇장씩 읽고 있습니다.
금강경에나오는 내용이나 Henri Nouwen의 말들이나 다깊은속에
들어가면 일맥상통하는 것같아 불교나 기독교가 다를것이 없다는
사실이 조금은 터득되는듯합니다. 감사합니다. 규정

This is from a booklet, titled "Christ Our Hope" by Henri J.M. Nouwen,
edited by Paul Pennick.
Obviously the life here he is talking about
is the spiritual life, which is indeed the true life.
