Greetings Dear Reader,
When we begin to wander purposefully there are so many
things one must leave behind. The words
of Tolkien echo to me not because I think of myself as a hero who is an unknown
king. I do identify with the man who
could travel to places and do good for others and then move along the journey.
I have learned that in the beginning I am very beneficial
for others. The difficulty becomes that
instead of moving on when I have done my part I seek to keep them close to ease
my fear of them not being OK. When I
cross that barrier, I stop letting God control the situation. I am responsible to do my part not write the
ending for their story.
Therefore, as I go back to the road I must untie some
tethers. Some will require that I do so
now. Others will require that I seek out
friends long silent. It is a need to untie
tethers to failure that are my own. It
is the desire to settle accounts with hearts that matter to me.
Perhaps it will be painful but, in the end, seeking reconciliation
always leads to peace. If I can give
others peace then I can better travel as I need to on the journey home. I will not leave behind or untether my love
for others. I will, however, admit that
for some I have tarried too long.
I am meant to be a wanderer.
I am designed to be a door warden not the man in the castle. As I put on my old wings it becomes too real
that I can achieve more good wandering than in any other way. I will still be here Dear Reader, available
for consultation.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure store.”
