Madeleine L'engle said this quote

“ Today we live in a society that seems to be less and less concerned with reality. We drink instant coffee and reconstituted orange juice.

I don't want to be a consumer. Anger consumes. Forest fires consume. Cancer consumes. ”

Instead of rejoicing in this glorious impossible which gives meaning and dignity to our lives, we try to domesticate God, to make his might actions comprehensible to our finite minds.
