Beyond the Mirror
Nouwen ponders a close encounter with death. He writes: "My accident brought me to the portal of death and led me to a new experience of God." The author was startled to find that in this scary situation he was not overcome by fear but inundated with "peace, joy, and an all pervading sense of serenity." Nouwen recounts his experience of the unconditional love of God: "Death lost its power and shrank away in the Life and Love that surrounded me in such an intimate way, as if I were walking through a sea."
