I saw an entry in Debbie's journal
from August 2006 today. She wrote ...
Book: "The Long Journey
Home"
I don't know if she was thinking of
naming her book with that title, or if it was something else. However it got me
thinking about the "Journey of Ascent."
Most of the Christian (and Jewish
and Muslim) mystics talked about an experience that was common to them of
taking an upward journey to God. They viewed it as a “Return home” to the
source of where they had come from.
This made me think of a few bible
verses… and a few movie scenes, such as the one below from Lord of the Rings
I will close with a quote from C.S. Lewis:
LAST BATTLE
The
Last Battle Quotes (showing 1-17 of 17)
“I have come home at last! This is my real country! I belong
here. This is the land I have been looking for all my life, though I never knew
it till now...Come further up, come further in!”
― C.S. Lewis, The Last Battle
