sojourn

I seek not the textual passages but that the curtain be opened, perhaps even torn back, and the authors imagination and character be revealed. The eternally deep tapestry of life giving, breath taking wonder. I cannot help but try to convey my discovery not by referencing the page and paragraph details, but by the rapturous overflow of the impact I have personally received. I engage with other sojourners, not by direct grid-referenced quotation, but by how my own heart burned as I discovered new horizons. I discipline myself to speak not of what these new frontiers should mean to others, but what they mean to me and I pray that before I even open my mouth the impact of the author through the depth of his heart will be clearly evident in my life.
