“Scale models try to approximate a whole world, a world that doesn’t have a crack"

via "MOONGLOW, MICHAEL CHABON BUILDS A SCALE MODEL OF THE BROKEN WORLD" by Cody Delistraty at The New Yorker

Another from On Being, this time from Omid Safi—"But until recently I had not thought about how there is a beauty that can emerge from the cracked spaces. That there is a way to illuminate cracked cups, spaces, hearts."

Another citation of "light getting in" in the graphic created by Wendy MacNaughton and Courtney Martin.

Application

If someone is willing to find the right answer, willing to explore what might be effective, what might be confirmable, then enrolling in the journey to ease doubt opens the door to personal experience. Which, magically, can let the light in.
