Heschel’s Wonder-12/06/20
The Knot
Man is more that what he is to himself. In his reason he may be limited, in his will he may be wicked, yet he stands in a relation to God which he may betray but not sever and which constitutes the essential meaning of life.
He is the knot in which heaven and earth are interlaced.
