I ended my first book with the words 'no answer.' I know now, Lord, why you utter no answer. You are yourself the answer. Before your face questions die away. What other answer would suffice? Only words, words; to be led out to battle against other words.
The quote from C.S. Lewis’s book "Till We Have Faces" reflects a profound realization about the nature of answers and questions. The narrator understands that human inquiries often remain unanswered because the divine presence embodies the ultimate answer. Instead of seeking out mere words to resolve our doubts, the essence of truth and understanding can be found in experiencing a relationship with the divine.
This realization implies that when faced with the divine, many of our questions lose their significance. The essence of life and its mysteries seems to transcend mere verbal explanations. Rather than engaging in a battle of words, which often leads to confusion, embracing the presence of a higher power offers clarity and peace.
