Adrift Through Time

Our souls like ships have been set adrift through time, pushed by wandering winds, pulled by strong cross currents. Sometimes slackness in the sails brings rest or boredom with no forward speed or direction, and our soul-ships are stagnant and empty. Other times our soul-ships have spotted each other in the distance, and we prayed for strong winds to fill the sails and God to steer us so we may at least pass by close enough to touch. Over the course of our lives our soul-ships have passed each another many times over, and a few times we’ve followed one another into the nearest port for some R & R. Then the storms of life blew through and again we were set adrift through time, blown in different directions, perhaps never to sail in the same waters again. But, recently, as fate and fair winds would have it, our soul-ships are sailing together once more on a roughly parallel course. And when the rough seas of life try to tear down our masts or cause us to drift apart, I hope our love will always keep us tethered together, so we’ll never lose sight of each other again. With our soul-ships tied together and God guiding us, we’ll never be lost at sea or separated again, and finally we will be allowed to sail through the rest of time together.
