Quick response because I saw it on Passio… I absolutely get this, and had a similar experience at the VG museum in Amsterdam last year. I’ve read quite a bit recently from people who have had journeys away from the Church, then back to God. I’ve seen less from people raised without any organised faith but drawn to the sort of relationship with a divine you are talking about here. I also know that new belief can be deafening and dogmatic. Oh darn, I’ve done one of those ‘actually more of a statement…’ questions that everyone hates. Anyway, thanks for this.
Thanks for this Joe. My faith journey...in fact my whole life...is laced with strange encounters like this. I guess what's why I can relate to VG being encountered by life and beauty in the ways he is. I need to get to the VG museum...
