A guiding light, to…where?

Tried to write a haiku that was Epiphany-inspired.

Nothing was happening.

šŸ™

A guiding light, leading people across endless landsā€¦ to show up in some backwater burgh to find a King to worship, only to see Him in a less-than-kingly estate.

Metaphors abound in that. The idea of a way, a passage, traveling from one place to another for a goalā€¦ resonates with me in a major fashion. (Just see my recent posts on Sober Catholic about a movie: “The Way” and Camino playlist.)

The destination being the Messiahā€¦ in humble surroundings that were base even in that era; speaks to us who prefer comfort and convenience. Do we have the endurance and desire to ā€œgo the distanceā€ to achieve whatever is at our ā€œdestiny?ā€

Would we be willing to traverse the “desert?”

And what will we find there? Our preconceptions fulfilled, or a surprise?

Are you a creative Catholic? "The Catholicpunk Manifesto" is my new book exhorting Catholics to apply their faith to change the culture for the better!

Know someone, perhaps yourself, who might like Catholic devotionals for alcoholics? Please take a look at my books! "The Stations of the Cross for Alcoholics" and "The Recovery Rosary: Reflections for Alcoholics and Addicts" (Thank you!!)
