@1610captain @joynessthebrave “When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people.” Attributed to Abraham Joshua Heschel by his student Harold Kushner.

Talking with Beth Moore about how deeply both of us have been influenced by Walter Brueggemann was a beautiful thing.

So deeply struck by the plethora of resonances between Walter and Abraham Joshua Heschel - kind and wise sages of the highest order. No mistake, perhaps, that, *kindness* defines the living path of a prophetic ontology of being, means, and ends, and that both are so dearly loved.
