A Moment of Intense Longing
December 16, 2022 3 Comments
I can get moments of very intense longing. It is a feeling of, “I wanted something so bad.” I wanted something about life. I wish I could tell where that comes from and what I need.
Listening to the first minute of The Veldt at half-speed I had one. It is a melancholy song based on Ray Bradbury’s SciFi short story about two young children who have a machine that creates an imaginary world that becomes real. They imagine an African veldt, become addicted, and when their parents want them to unplug, the lions come to life and kill their parents. The children live on, happy in their dream world.

That intense longing calls to my soul. It comes from nowhere it seems at random times of the day. Tonight in the shower it whispers, its time and I hurriedly dress, eat and rush to my bed where once again, I put all my mind and all my energy into growing my spirit.
Who calls, who is watching, who is listening to my plea? Let me come home, show me the path.
Apparently hosts of celestial beings are silently watching and God himself, all waiting with baited breath for that one right moment. Unknowable, unfathomable love lifts me up and there it is again. I want to cry, no sing or was that me praying, for what? What am I praying for, longing for, aching for. It has no form except this deep yearning in my heart and with all of me, I try to follow that soundless melody while my energy rises up, higher, higher!
Wow that was beautiful 🙂
