Arms outstreched in love toward the further shore

Beyond courage, it is also possible to live in the ancient faith, which asserts that changes in the world, even if they be recognized more as a loss than a gain, take place within an eternal order that is not affected by their taking place. Whatever the difficulty of philosophy, the religious man has been told that process is not all. 'Tendebantque manus ripae ulterioris amore'.

George Grant, Lament for a Nation
