Longing for the even pastures beyond our wilderness certainly blinds us to the miracles and marvels around us, but in this escape to other dimensions, we perceive possibilities. There is so much to experience to know, to learn and to give, that it sometimes seems banal to me that I even spend time thinking about what I am going to eat. Yet without sustenance the journey this time round will be short and with very few memorable experiences – except of course for chronic hunger. If that which we have – food, shelter, clothing etc, is taken with grace it provides an opportunity to encounter many of the wonders and secrets that saturate our universe. It often seems like there is so much too do and so little time to fit it all in. Sometimes it is so overwhelming that we just do nothing, constantly mulling over what would be the most prudent way to fill our days. Our lives fly by and we think: “Where, did the week. month, year go?” While we are deciding which rides to take, so many others are already having fun and ticking off activities on their list of done’s. For many people the whole point is just survival, in this they have the full experience that this lifetime has to offer. As Eisly points out men see things differently. By reporting from our wilderness we give each other a glimpse into other dimensions. Some seem very attractive and some seem…well not so inviting. I think the spirit that drives us to attempt the adventures that is our lives, no matter how difficult, impossible or daunting they seem, is what makes us the most dazzling, brave creatures in the wild of life.
