Tuesday psalms.
The atheist, on using the word God, thinks, in his blindness. that he sees:
the word has a material meaning for him which he can then (correctly) discount as nonsense.
The prayerful man, however, on using the word God, eventually discovers - if he has searched diligently- that he does not see:
the word, he finds, has no material meaning at all: there is only absence!
And yet, it is at the very moment of discovering his blindness - this absence -, that he knows that he is witnessing the truth:
You Yourself are discovered in that very moment!
Thus, all our apparent understanding is turned on it's head!
And so, in this topsy-turvy way, the atheist is actually right except that - believing that he can see - he lives on in a darkness.
