I'm still not quite sure about calling the intruding Event “It.” I trust in the final Mystery of all things, the giver and taker of life, and in the intruding Event that reminds me of my unconditional acceptance which is given in the midst of life's freedom and seizes me in the struggle of daily living. It shatters all illusions and thus I experience death. It gives me a vision of reality and thus I experience rebirth. It judges my authenticity and thus is a measure of my relationship to profound human community. I trust in the gift of radical freedom and the history-long and worldwide presence of pioneers in the civilizing adventure and in the eternal presence of the final mystery. Amen (If anyone has lost the longer version in their archives and need it for reference, I'll type it up and post it.) – John Webster
