exploring


The chaplains have been exploring!  We found the secret back route from the on call room, through the deserted roc hall to the emergency room.  We unearthed an urban legend about a mysterious exercise room and then found it hidden on the 5th floor.  We trespassed into the medical resident's decked out lounge.  We discovered the beautiful pond and fountain on the other side the cancer center.  It's a definite improvement from a couple months ago when we were wandering the halls blind trying to find the heart center.  We are enlarging our territory.


All this reminds me of a couple quotes I picked up at the Celtic Spirituality workshop.  They inspire me!


We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the very first time.  TS Elliot


Follow truth wherever you find it.  Even if it takes you outside your preconceived notions of God and life.  Even if it takes you outside your own country into the most insignificant alien places like Bethleham.  Be courageous.  George McLeod, Iona Scotland.
