You may just want to wear your boots for this one. What can I say it happens after now and then when I find myself with a little too much free time? The stereo playing a lot of Johnny Cash and Pink Floyd CD’s lately. It may sound weird to you. But try it sometime.
I found myself watching episodes of Rescue Me and Millennium yesterday. Both are very good shows. And at times hard to watch. However, what makes compelling TV are shows that are not afraid to challenge the perceptions of their audiences. I just want to focus on an episode form Millennium entitled Luminary. (NOTE: This episode was probably influenced by the book Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer) I do not want to go in full detail here so just follow the links for more information. I want to just quote some dialogue from the show that has caused me to do a little pondering over the last day.
I returned here to find my life again. I had to. I don’t quite understand whatdraws me on, but that is okay. God doesn’t move us by telling us the facts. Hemoves us by pains and contradictions He’s given me a lack of understanding, not answers, but questions. An invitation to marvel. And here for the first time, I have.
This episode also featured the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis). I saw them once years ago when I was Temegami which is in Northern Ontario Canada. It was amazing to just being laying back on the lakeside watching them directly overhead of me. Starry nights just lead to massive introspection. I wish I had taken some photos and video of this moment. But at least I got to experience it.
I am going to leave at just this for today. And hopefully you really did not need to be wearing your boots.
