Brian D. McLaren Quote
Cause-effect looks back and asks, What caused this? Purpose looks up or ahead, and asks, And why was it caused? For what purpose? For what end? Cause-effect looks for a force pushing events from behind. Purpose looks for a pattern or design or intention or meaning pulling events from ahead, guiding them from above, enriching them from within.
