The readings for the next three days are excerpts from the journal of one who wandered through a wilderness in life and got lost . . . and found.
FROM THE JOURNAL OF A WANDERER -- 1
For six months he wandered through
the wilderness.
Getting
more and more lost.
What had pushed him out there?
Forces from without.
What drove his seeking?
Forces from within.
He did not choose to go through
barren places;
the path he chose
went that way.
He had his reasons.
It was not the wilderness
he was choosing;
the path he chose
went that way.
What were the reasons?
Survival.
That’s all that matters
after so long in the
wilderness.
“Who are you?”
It doesn’t matter.
Then he reached
the other side.
He had survived.
Was that all that mattered?
Why had he survived?
Why was it important to survive?
Who was he?
And finding himself
among friends
he remembered who he was
and why he had come out
and what the reasons were.
Returning home,
life
and those he loved
were a little more
precious.
