" This orientation alone yields rest and shalom in our adventures in knowing. Rest: We may be at peace with our own efforts to know—with their long journey, their incompleteness and particularity, with their dependence on others and on the real itself. We may be confident in our distinct contributions, and confident in the risk. We may delight in the venture. We may hope for and joy in deepening communion with the real. Shalom: This approach honors, heals, and transformatively cultivates the real itself. Humans and societies may hope to be healers and friends of the world. "
