“There is another world, but it’s in this world,” the poets and mystics of every age tell us. Knowingly or unknowingly they’re following Jesus, whose descriptions of heaven are rooted in earth, whose take on salvation is about celebrating those moments where lostness gives way to foundness, moments we all know and feel from time to time. Jesus, who is always seeking redemption in the company of those who know they’re lost.
– quoting Geoff Dyer's Foreword to Annie Dillard's The Abundance, in my talk today, Living where lost and found collide.
