Thanks, Ada. Yes, I have both those books by L’Engle, although I haven’t read them for many years. I should dip back into them.

Madeleine L’Engle talks about this in her book, Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith & Art. (I think you’d like it, Mike.) Also, if you look her up, she has a wonderful video where she talks about truth.
“We must pray when prayer seems dry as dust; we must write when we are physically tired, when our hearts are heavy, when our bodies are in pain.” (Pg.107, Walking on Water)
“How long is a toothache? How long is a wonderful time?”(pg.106)
“Time is to be treasured, worked with, never ignored. As the astrophysicists understand time now, it is not like a river, flowing in one direction, but more like a tree, with great branches and smaller limbs and twigs”(pg.108-09).
Which reminds me about something I read, to contemplate why the tree of the knowledge of good & evil, & the tree of life, are trees. Living, growing trees.

‘God is near. God’s grace abounds. But you’ll never get if you don’t slow down…’
