Mark 1:12
And the Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness.
In the wilderness
Empty-handed
Devoid of the resources normally relied on
Vulnerable to the whims of nature
What is lying dormant
ready to flourish?
What is hidden
that might come to light?
What surprises are waiting
to illuminate our path?
In vulnerability
there is an invitation
to be courageous
to welcome whatever is offered
with the spirit of curiosity and wonder
and, in our openness
there is the possibility
of transformation.
Where might we experience wilderness today?
