Weekends with Chesterton: Someone Wiser

"Now a Catholic is a person who has plucked up courage to face the incredible and inconceivable idea that somebody else may be wiser than he is."

~ GKC, The Well and the Shallows

*******************************************

It is so inconceivable, isn't it?  I act as though I know the exact path my life should take and what is the best for me and the people I love.   Why isn't this working out in the perfectly tidy way that I imagined it should?  This other way is so messy, so uncertain, so frustrating!  And I fight against the "wrong way", trying to turn things around, trying to control this life into my ideal.
Oh, this courage to face the idea of one wiser than I!  Would that it was easily attained!
