Light in the Darkness

Posted by James Browning on August 30, 2012
Posted in: Reason, Seeing clearly, Understanding. Tagged: Finding balance, Learning new ways, living life fully, seeing myself clearly.

When reason speaks to you, listen to what it says and you shall be saved. Make good use of its words and you shall be armed. For reason is a clever minister, a loyal guide, and a wise counselor. And just as anger obscures the light, reason is a light in the darkness. Do not forget, however, than even if reason illuminates you, it is not effective without understanding. Without its true-born sister, reason is a wanderer without a roof over its head; and understanding without reason is like an unguarded house. Kahlil Gibran

I know that you
believe you understand

what you think I said,
but I’m not sure you realize
that what you heard
is not what I meant.

Robert McCloskey
