Well, in the first place, you can't stop the journey. You can't freeze frame the holy moment. You can't repeat it either. Trying to repeat those high holy moments of your past kills even the memory as each repetition becomes more artificial and superficial. God cannot be contained.
Life goes on.
God moves on. And we must move on if we want to meet God again. In the second place, you can't abandon those people who are still in the valley. You can't ignore those who are suffering or your soul will suffer. No matter how we might insulate ourselves to the poor, the sick, the imprisoned, the addicted, the oppressed, and the powerless, they are our responsibility before God.
