Me: Knock Knock
Wisemen: Come in.
Me: Hi....thought I'd check up on you. What are you doing?
Wiseman #1: We thought it best to consult our book of wisdom.
Me: Yes, I see that. And what have you learned?
Wiseman #2: Feel free to read over our shoulders.
Wiseman #3: Yes, we'd point but as you know we have no arms.
Me: Do you ever NOT bring that up in a conversation?
Wiseman #3: Not if we can help it.
Wiseman #1: ENOUGH! We have to make a decision here.
Me: Really? What kind of decision?
Wiseman #2: Read the decree.
"Go- not knowing where.
Bring- not knowing what.
The path is long,
the way unknown."
-Russian Fable
Me: Well, that sounds very um...mystical?
Wiseman: #3: Yes, we need to consult other wise ones!
Wiseman #2: Do you know of any in the area?
Me: Well, yes I actually do.
Wiseman #1: Please arrange for an audience.
Me: I will get right on that your highnesses!
Wiseman #1: We must rest. A great journey lies before us!
It looks like we're going on a FIELD TRIP!!!!!

Roberta,
I love you! How do you come up with this stuff. You had me laughing out loud, and also in awe of the mystery. You amaze me.
I needed that chuckle today!
Roberta, I'm really enjoying this! For me, the Waving Cat was in fact a sacrament (a sort of window through which a higher reality was shining). When we come fact to face with the mundane limitations of sacraments (being immersed or being sprinkled do NOT change you instantly into a new person, for instance), our humanity sends us on a quest for a new sacrament. It isn't the reality that changed, but we need a new way to get at it. To the extent we're listening to God In Us/ God Among Us, we may find what we need. I hope the Wise Men do!
Love, Brad
Ann,
I do not "come up with this stuff"- the wise men do!
Brad,
Who knows where the Wise Men will lead? I'm only along for the ride:) By the way, they are enjoying your posts!
I'll definitely be back to read more. I can relate to the wise men's grief, and I look forward to seeing where this journey leads!
