The Beatitudes: When Mountain Meets Valley

0/5 ( ratings)

The Beatitudes do not merely call us to a higher ethical life, writes Ron Dart. They call us to become a different type of being. The mountain represents serenity, contemplation, and insight, the valley suggests toil, struggle and pain. Dart points out that both are necessary and complementary aspects of our existence, yet our tendency is to elevate the one and downgrade the other. We romanticize the peak and its focus on the inner life or inscape, or we lose ourselves in the hustle and bustle of the valley, never withdrawing from the fray to get a fresh perspective on life. Dart sees the Beatitudes, as the key to living within the tension of mountain and valley.
