I am in intensive correspondence with a friend. A second letter was received today (5 pages). He insists that I cannot justify my vocation with theological-theoretical arguments (11/13/2007), since otherwise I will inevitably reach a dead end. I should limit myself in my reports to my personal area.
After a short sleep, before midnight, I am completely awake. I have to think about my friend’s letter and I agree with him. It is true that my path cannot be justified in theory. It’s a matter of faith. An impression comes to mind that I had recently while walking in the streets of Jerusalem: I saw myself walking on a tightrope; Christianity on the one hand, Judaism on the other. If the tightrope act does not succeed, I will inevitably fall either on the Jewish or Christian side. I am not allowed to stand still and go backwards (promise). I cannot turn back. All that remains is for me to go forward by the hand of Heavenly Father.
