Saying "Yes"

Moses spends forty years answering the Voice that spoke out of the bush…Nowhere does the Bible romanticize mystery or exalt religious experience for its own sake. What remains central in each instance is the response of the person to what beckons through the mystery. And the essence of faithful response is the willingness to be drawn forth completely by what calls from the heart of the mystery. What matters supremely is the “yes,” the letting go, the yielding to a whole new way.
--Steve Doughty, To Walk in Integrity
