Her journey is everyone's journey. Wandering is, at times, confusing, depressing, discouraging, disheartening, frightening, and anxiety filled. We realize what we have missed, the wasted time in our lives, the senselessness of an addicted and material life. We are often criticized by others who do not understand or are threatened by our actions. We rage at the insanity and cruelty that surrounds us.
Spiritual wandering is a solitary venture into the depths of our selves.
We often feel alone and isolated. Doubts plague us. We may abandon our faith. Anxiety is intense as we see possibilities. Temptation to give up and to return to the divided life of the past is great.
