If I can never adequately state the significance
of my relationships with those whom I love in this world, or give a neat description
of how I can overcome the alienation and estrangement
of myself from another, or describe with any
fullness what it means to be accepted by another and loved in spite
of my deficiencies and my self - centeredness, I can never state in other than
symbolic idiom the opening
of further human possibilities with the overcoming
of human deficiencies in my relationship with God — a relationship that has been broken by my willfulness and sin.
