"How fortunate are we, whose home is timelessness; we who have wandered down from fragrant mountains of eternal now to frolic in such mysteries as birth and death a day or maybe even less." - E.E. Cummings
Odyssey- An epic or adventurous journey; an intellectual and spiritual quest.
I like the idea that everyone's life is an Odyssey, a journey through X number of years fighting, wandering, questioning, crying, sharing, laughing, searching... all in an attempt to reach our spiritual home; a kingdom not of this world. Much like brave Odysseus, man tries with all that he has to see "home at last." But it is only through the help of the One, True God, who knew us from a point of timelessness, that any of us should walk through the gates of that kingdom.

I'm so stoked to be reading and processing such a genuine, raw and beautiful couple's blog. There's no logical reason in the world that I should feel so connected to you brother (it being that we only spent a year together in the same city), but I can say with almost absolute certainty, I feel like I'm *odyssey*ing with you day to day from 1000+ miles away - and I attribute it to the divine spirit flowing in-through our hearts. Check out a song when you both get the chance: Josh Garrels - Farther Along. It speaks to this reality as well...I've been jammin on it lately.
ReplyDeletePraying for you both, your impact, your family's, your marriage, your odyssey's, and all the odyssey's you'll come across in the coming days.
Much love & heartfelt appreciation to you both.
