finding the momentous in passing moments: a book interview (Marilyn Sewell)

Marilyn Sewell mentions in passing some quiet support on a bad day from people at the Cadillac Café*

recently – from the publisher’s blurb:
In In Time’s Shadow, minister, author, and activist Marilyn Sewell reflects on the everyday … Using a variety of short literary forms, ranging from dramatic monologues, vignettes, and letters, to prose poems, fantasy, and more, Sewell’s fiction offers insightful, compassionate slices of life that will bring laughter and, at the same time, take you deeper into the mysteries of life … We love, we lose, we die, and through it all, we ask, “What’s it all about?” Sewell invites us to ponder with her and perhaps come to trust our common humanity and our most noble instincts.*

a while ago – from elsewhere:
“An awe-filled agnosticism is perhaps the better part of wisdom,” says Rev Dr Marilyn Sewell (!?) of when one is, as she puts it, “entering the ground of the infinite with the powers of a finite mind.”

original:
When we venture into the Mystery, we are entering the ground of the infinite with the powers of a finite mind. An awe-filled agnosticism is perhaps the better part of wisdom. (!?)
