The Tragic Gap
Topic: spirituality

Parker Palmer, on NPR's Word to Word yesterday, touched something so deep within me that I spent half the night tossing and turning as I did some positive wrestling with it's message. 

 He invited me and others to dare trying to stand in what he calls "the tragic gap," which he says is not at all tragic.  Yet definitely daunting, a place from which I believe most people would prefer to run.

I'm deferring to that program today.  Please, if you can find time at all, listen to this program today:  http://download.publicradio.org/podcast/wordforword/2008/03/07/wordforword_64.mp3

It will probably be the subject of this blog for at least a day or two.
