Are You Soul-Searching in the Right Place?
“When faced with a decision, choose the path that feeds your soul.”
– Dorothy Mendoza Row
Where are you soul-searching?
I came across a powerful story in a book a few months ago…but heck if I can remember which book! At any rate, I have found myself thinking about the story from time to time since then, so I wanted to explore it further in this blog.
Here is the story:
Late one night, a man was looking for something on the ground beneath a lamp post. He had his head down and seemed to be searching for something he’d lost. Around and around the lamp post he walked, determined to find whatever it was he was looking for.
Along came an older man, who watched him from a distance for awhile, then finally went up and asked him what he was looking for…and did he perhaps want any help?
“I’m looking for the key to my house,” the younger man replied.
“Oh,” said the older man. “So you think you must have lost it somewhere around here, then?”
The younger man shook his head and frowned. “No! I didn’t lose it here. I’m pretty sure it’s on the kitchen table at home…but now I’ve locked myself out!”
