Where have you been?

Been a while, huh?
Where have I been?
I have begun to fully embrace the journey I am on.
Spiritually.

I am tired of theological abstractions.
I want experience
to experience God.
I have been looking for depth...
still am.

I want my complacency to look into the awesome majesty of God;
I want to feed my spiritual discontent,
I want to be moved to my knees,
renew my vision of the Glory.

So I've been reading.
Reading about other's experience,
Other people's journey toward the mystery that is our God.
I am finding my heart resonate with some of their words,
vibrating to some ancient tune.

I am drawn toward silence,
simplicity,
solitude,
mediation.

But I resist at the same time.
This is so outside my tradition,
but I feel this is who I am.
Or who I am becoming.

But there must be balance,
moderation.
Without it I can be "so heavenly minded that I'm no earthly good."
So here I stand,
balancing,
finding,
following a new path.

Where have I been?
Embracing the Mystery.
