We live with the mediocre in our lives, afraid of being killed or of being left behind, unable to define the far off poles between which the conventional stands in the middle. We ask for no great shakes, determined to seek the easiness we believe was promised to us long ago by those who walked long distances with a practiced pace and on calloused feet. Salvation should, the story begins, be easy, with no hindrance in our seeking for definitions of the God who seeks and waits as we actively search for the desire that will deliver us.
