Where I Want To Go
I have often thought I would like to visit Amish country. I have heard of a unique brand and portrait of people there. In spite of their simple ways of life, no one goes hungry. It would be great to visit before I'm too old and gray to care.
I know that my chosen spot is not a fancy far away place. However, it is not about places or things, but about people. It's about down-shifting my hasty life and slowing the pace. Perhaps I'll observe a tree harvest of slow dripping maple.
Maybe I'll be taken back to a different time, and a different land. Who knows? Perhaps I wont even like it; but I think I might. Perhaps I will see more clearly and better understand. Maybe I will clearly discern between what's wrong or right.
I want to walk, worship, and experience life with the Amish. One small request; but that's my quest before I'm finished.
