pages 303-304 titled "The Kingdom"
If we only had eyes to see and ears to hear
and wits to understand, we would know that
the Kingdom of God in the sense of holiness,
goodness, beauty is as close as breathing
and is crying out to be born both within
ourselves and within the world;
we would know that the kingdom of God
is what we all of us hunger for above all
other things even when we don't know its
name or realize that it's what we're
starving to death for. The Kingdom of God
is where our best dreams come from and our
truest prayers. We glimpse it at those
moments when we find ourselves being better
than we are and wiser than we know. We
catch sight of it when at some moment of
crisis a strength seems to come to us
that is greater than our own strength.
The Kingdom of God is where we belong.
It is home, and whether we realize it
or not, I think we are all of us homesick
for it.
