The Sleeping Man Is Blessed

“What would a man buried alive do?

Try with all his strength to breathe the sun again, of course.

Your hands, your feet, your eyes, your every word and thought, there is not one waking second the soul pounding against the cage of the body does not want God to rush into its lungs

The sleeping man is blessed with a faith that is not active.

Faith as it ripens turns into an almost insatiable appetite, and the awake lion must prowl for God in places it once feared.”

-St John
