As we travel through the landscape of our lives we must be willing “to go” where the Divine Energy takes us. Often, we must be pried out of familiar surroundings, security, comfort zones, and ego identities. But the universe will move us: as old skins cannot contain new wine, and we find we are no longer able to live the old life we once found so secure. Once we arrive, temporarily to rest, with introspection we can then view back and say “Ah…now I see the Divine Wisdom in that pilgrimage.” God always allows us time to get settled into the new skins, the new view, the new unknown. His Spirit is a gentle Shepherd, gently leading, prodding, and moving us to a new heightened sense of awareness and a new view of our souls and the internal work that must be done.
