The Spiritual Journey






Contemplating  “The Spiritual Journey”
The images in this series came to me after reading An Ethic for Christians and Other Aliens in a Strange Land by William Stringfellow and after some conversations Dan and I had about the spiritual life. Room One has all the “answers” but at the same time it is the most unhealthy and confining place to exist. The last picture titled “The Possibilities” gives us an idea of what Christ wants to offer. Moving from one room to the next represents our continuous and wonderful journey with God. One milestone along the spiritual journey is when we are no longer afraid of entering the next room and we actually start looking for doors. It is interesting to note that when we are separated from someone by two or more rooms it is almost impossible to describe to them our spiritual experience. There are really no common points of reference.
  1. What room do you currently see yourself in?
  2. Christ has come to set us free, what does that mean to you?
  3. How do you think God leads us from one room to the next?
  4. Do you find yourself afraid of the next room or do you find yourself looking for doorways? Why?
