The journey of faith demands that we let go of our image of God and our image of ourselves. But we can't do that in our head or on our own; it's done to us. The only thing we have to do is live, but live openly and honestly, letting the truth of the world get through to us. We're not converted in our heads or by sermons: we're converted by circumstances- if we really let those speak to us. And when we let reality get through to us, then conversion doesn't take long. the Santa Claus image of god stops working, and the masculine image of God doesn't last very long either - Richard Rohr - Simplicity-the freedom of letting go
