Wandering Home: Making Friends With The Mystery

The first words of this song were inspired by a line from the Lord of the Rings: “Not all those who wander are lost.” And it speaks/sings to the way that we are all in this liminal space right now, where so much of what we once could count on in life is no longer necessarily a given. But there are gifts available when we’re willing to dance with the unknown. Of course there is a lot to grieve, and grieving is sacred work. But the other side of grief and loss is that change gives rise to a fertile moment of newness emerging. So being wholeheartedly available to love and focus on what matters most to us right now is our strength, knowing that all that we love will be sooner or later be lost, and the only mistake that we can make in this messy moment is to hold back on loving and being fully alive.
