The Way. The Truth. The Life.



Lots going on in life right now. Good things but big things too. This pretty much sums it up.


He is the way.

Follow Him through the land of

Unlikeness;

You will see rare beasts, and

Have unique adventures.

He is the Truth

Seek Him in the kingdom of anxiety;

You will come to a great city that

Has expected your return for years

He is the Life.

Love Him in the world of the flesh

And at your marriage all its occasions

Shall dance for joy

W.H. Auden



The adventure seems to bear significant risk. I'll not abandon it but fear rises and courage wanes as the unlikeness presents. Rounding this bend I stare, squinting, towards the horizon, anticipating the great city and hoping for a warm welcome and a sense of place when I meet it. At night, under the stars, I hope towards a life that dances for joy but am often caught trying to embrace the adventure and follow Him through.
