Our Touchstones theme is “Journey.” So, here’s the deal. You are born. You take your first breathe, gasping like a fish out of water, which, in a sense, you are. Everything sounds strange because now sounds travel through air instead of the amniotic fluid of the womb. They lay you down in your mother’s arms, and you look up. The problem is that the lights are blinding, your eyes don’t focus, and even if they did, your brain can’t make sense of anything your eyes see. Welcome to the world. Your journey of life has begun.
If you could speak, which you can’t, you would probably say, “Whoa, let’s just slow everything down. Slow. Real slow.” The only constant that you will experience is change. And you will experience so much before you even have language to begin to try to understand what is happening to you. The journey has begun, and you, my friend are a stranger in a strange world.
Join us during the month of July as we explore the theme of Journey in our lives!
