"Certum Est Quia Impossible Est"

It's hard to accept that "reality" could be something "impossible." The impossible is out of our control. Far better to keep things comfortably in our grasp.

But Tertullian said, I believe the Resurrection is certain, because it is impossible.

And Emily Dickinson wrote:

Impossibility, like wine
Exilarates the man
Who tastes it: possibility
Is flavorless.

Quoted in Eward Robinson, The Language of Mystery, p. 117.

God help us, if we only get what we want! Let us yearn for the impossible, and have courage to open our hands and let the dove we clutch fly free. For what is impossible for us is always possible for God. Luke 1:37 (angel Gabriel to Mary: "For nothing will be impossible for God." And as Jesus "kept saying" in the Garden of Gethsemani, "Abba (O Father), you hae the power to do all things. Take this cup away from me. But let it be as you would have it, not as I." Mk. 14:36.
