The way I see it
Adventure, with all its requisite danger and wildness, is a deeply spiritual longing written into the soul of man, where nothing is prefabricated, modular, nonfat, zip lock, franchised, on-line, [or] microwavable. Where, finally, the geography around us corresponds to the geography of our hearts. Moses did not encounter the living God at the mall. He found him out in the deserts of Sinai, a long way from the comforts of Egypt. The same is true of Jacob, who has his wrestling match with God not on the living room sofa but in a wadi somewhere east of the Jabbok, in Mesopotamia. Where did the prophet Elijah go to recover his strength? To the wild. As did John the Baptist, and his cousin, Jesus, who is led by the Spirit into the wilderness.
Wild at Heart...
