So, most of you who know me know the landscape, and weather of my current location. To those of you who do not know of these things. I live in up state PA, to most of you it would be considered the middle of nowhere. Also, this winter is especially,.."wintery", meaning that there is a decent amount of snow on the ground. Can you form a picture of what I am describing?
Anyways so the other day I am kind of rushing out the door to get to work. I jump in my car and glance out the driver side window only to find three Seagulls riding the wind, like there is nothing new. Now I don't about you, but I don't think that seagulls are native to northern PA..... in the middle of winter.
My "busy" life seemed to stop for a moment. These birds seemed to remind me of someone who is in a foreign land, a pilgrim,... a sojourner. For that moment I felt a very strange connection between these birds, and myself. I was reminded that I will keep seeking a home in this world. But I will never know the truest sense of Home until I leave this earth.
