Roots


Spinoza, Aquinas, Thoreau and Emerson - variations of rationalists, naturalism, trancendentalism and empiricism; my roots have memories of where they once drank deep from these philosophies. But I have since been uprooted. Even so, just as an amputee still feels the sensation of an arm that longer exists, my tendencies to reach out and say 'This is still a part of me, who I am," remain.

My roots, although they remember drinking from Walden Pond, now drink from the Living Water. I confess and am concerned, but wait on the One who will not abandon me.

For one who's design is to go deeper, a pond will not do. Aren't you glad you opted for the unFATHOMable?

Thoreau, through.
