The Road Home
Spiritual growth is rarely easy. There is no quick fix. You do not get to snap your fingers and have your world change before your eyes. We are on the road home. You may choose to walk this road as a tourist, being just an observer, but something more profound is calling you.
I think about God every day. For many years concepts like God and spirituality rested on the periphery of my life. They were scenery that I could admire now and then. I was a spiritual tourist, an interested sightseer, spending a little time here and there, but always returning to my “real” life. Eventually real life became uncomfortable, and I looked to spiritual teachings as a tool - something I could use to get the things I wanted and needed. Life became more uncomfortable. Then I began to awaken.
