I lived on a ship, Logos, for 2 years, 1979-1981 (4-6 years old). The ship ran aground in 1988 in the Beaggle Channel, South America, middle of the night. No one lost their lives of the c.150 people on board, and the ship is still there today as seen in this photo. This morning my mind's eye glimpsed a small boat, a row boat, at that moment when it just lifts off the stony bed of a lake or seashore. When the scrapes on the bottom of the boat go quiet, and the still becomes motion, and the horizon opens up before you. Left and right dissipate into 'everywhere' and 'anywhere', and light skips like stones off the water in and out of your eye, your heart. Two Scriptures meet me here: 'He has put eternity in the hearts of men.' (Ecclesiastes 3:11) And Jesus' words, 'Anyone who believes in me, streams of living water will flow from within him.' (John 7:38)
