To Re-iterate
Concepts create idols; only wonder grasps anything.
-Gregory of Nyssa
I've posted this before, but it captures my thoughts so well. Most likely it'll be one of those lines that keeps coming back to me through the years and helping me re-align my life.

But can wonder be inspired by something absolutely void of concepts?
Perhaps not... but come on, the point is to not get analytical here! (something that hardly ever happens to me)
At any rate might we concede that wonder is superior to concepts? In that it acknowledges the 'bigger-than-us'-ness of God and doesn't try to limit Him to human categorisation?
Bah. Anyway it's a nice saying, that helps keep me from running away with myself :)
