My escape fantasy involves a touring bus, equipped with everything needed for the meandering life – no connections, no ongoing responsibilities; just an ever-changing road offering an ever-expanding adventure. It seems so much bigger than what I have, than what I have been called to.
I wonder if the Shepherds were tempted to go on some adventure too after being joyously affected by the angel skyshow, the dash into town, attending a new born baby – full up and spilling over with the memory of the adventure. But they returned all the way… back… to… the… paddock.
Where reality
is lived in the light of all
that is heard and seenThe brilliance of the message cannot accompany me on a fantasy adventure, but it can illuminate the ground to which I return every single day.
