an open letter to characters, pilgrims and missionaries
We walk in a storybook called life
As we undergo our epic journey
Wind turns the pages of sunshine and rain
Stars gently pull our hair towards intimacy with our souls
Moonlight,
that pool of tender reminder
that the best is yet to come
The novel ever winding
reaching to climax
The chapters building to grand finale
Line by line
Story within story
Stories and events
intersecting
winding in, out, beside, through
Characters come and go
We are each so many things,
All are pilgrims or missionaries here
Weaving the rich tapestry
of the three things that change us
Forever:
Dreams
Suffering
and
Love
Sometimes we may feel alone
We are never alone
The very air we breathe
connects us
makes us one with each other
We name our world as God instructed
ever naming is our instinctual work
As in all great love stories
there is never an ending
only that wondrous thought:
to be continued….
