Our best thought can carry us down
to the shoreline of our little island
But only desire can carry us into
the ocean of Holy Love.
This, then, is why the sea is a mist
to the smart and the self-impressed
But shines in the light for children
who delight to swim in the living waters.
Questor for truth, the real question is:
What do you truly want?
What do you truly want?
Consider this well for
Those on the shore will never see more—
But children will play—in the Waves.
–Kent Smith of Abilene, TX
(My family and I really identify with this poem… In a way it reflects our book and our spiritual journey over the past 15 years or so…)
