a dangerous word

“We do not have to discover the world of faith; we only have to recover it. It is not a terra incognita, an unknown land; it is a forgotten land, and our relation to God is a palimpsest rather than a tabula rasa. The Hebrew word for repentance, teshuvah, means return. Yet it also means answer. 

Return to God is an answer to Him. For God is not silent.”

- Abraham Joshua Heschel -
