Evening: Psalm 74; Mark 4:21-34
The meaning in Jesus’s parables is not always immediately clear. Reluctant to spell out a detailed vision, he makes parables about a Way rather than a destination. The Kingdom itself is a Way … a seed growing secretly; a tiny seed that yields a large bush; the mysterious ‘measure for measure’, on which Shakespeare builds his play. This is enormously respectful of our contribution to life. The Way may be certain, but the final outcome is yet to unfold. As e.e. cummings writes: “seeker of truth, follow no path; all paths lead where truth is here”.
