I´m on holiday and reading 'A generous orthodoxy' by Brian Mclaren, and really enjoying it. Lots of it I think that I´ve thought before but maybe never articulated. But one bit that I really like is the chapter on 'Why I am mystical /poetic'. He quotes C K Chesterton
'Poetry is sane because it floats easily in an infinite sea; reason seeks to cross the infinite sea, and so make it finite. The result is mental exhaustion... The poet only asks to get his head into the heavens. It is the logician who seeks to get the heavens into his head. And it is his head that splits......'
I think I want to be more poetic .......
