Restless In My Journey, But Confident In My Destination ...
The title of this post is a quote that I coined a few years ago. It perfectly describes my life. Yours?
Henri Nouwen writes about this in The Dance Of Life
"While our minds and hearts are filled with many things, and we wonder how we can live up to the expectations imposed upon us by ourselves and others, we have a deep sense of unfulfillment. While busy and worried about many things, we seldom feel truly satisfied, at peace or at home. A gnawing sense of being unfulfilled underlies our filled lives....
One way to express the spiritual crisis of our time is to say that most of us have an address but cannot be found there. We know where we belong, but we keep being pulled away in many directions, as if we were still homeless. "All these other things" keep demanding our attention. They lead us so far from home that we eventually forget our true address, that is, the place where we can be addressed."
