The Hertz 800 emergency number fell out of my purse four weeks late. – by Howard Thurman from “Deep is the Hunger” 1951. We are trying to grow tall enough to wear.ĭespite all the crassness of life, despite all the hardness of life, The commonplace is shot through with new glory ĭeep and ancient wounds lose much of their old, old hurting.Ī crown is placed over our heads that for the rest of our lives One bright white light of penetrating beauty and meaning. Something that gathers up in itself all the freshets of experienceįrom drab and commonplace areas of living and glows in Throws all the rest of life into a new and creative relatedness, Some place for that which in itself is breathlessly beautiful and, There must always remain in every person’s life Of all of his writings this piece has touched me most at Christmas. I first encountered his writings during my seminary years when an anthology had just been published.
Howard Thurman is one of my favorite theologians and authors.
