I’m a Wenderian - the thought goes back to the greatest lyric German poet Rainer Maria Rilke - that if we were like angels, we would fall short of everything human and be crushed beneath the siren song of an impossible perfect order. Nothing like this can exist in our world.

For me, Wim Wenders “Wings Of Desire” is the most profound German film I ever seen about an angel who comes to realize lowly humanity with its joys and sorrows is better than the unchanging perfection of heaven. And he becomes mortal to experience love.

Of all the things evident in our fallen world, being human is the greatest privilege God has bestowed on us. Let’s not relinquish it.
