straight into the sun with an unshielded eye, what do

as blind as if you were in pitch darkness. And that's
also the reason why we have difficulty in seeing God
and why, generally, the deeper we journey into
intimacy with God, the deeper we are journeying into
Light, the more God seems to disappear and become
harder and harder to picture or imagine. We're being
blinded, not by God's absence, but by a blinding light
to the unshielded eye. The darkness of faith is the
darkness of excessive light...."
