There is the possibility to carry this experience forward, to use it in my preaching, teaching and writing. but nothing means anything except as it is connected by a disciplined will and through grace, to the love of God and mercy of Christ, which cannot always be done immediately.
If I cannot say exactly and fully what it means to have stood in the presence of a Donatello sculpture or a Giotto Fresco or a great cathedral designed by a genius and built with the sweat of several thousands of anonymous workers, then I can at least keep the question open, I can go on looking and stay alert for answers as they are revealed.
