The World Beneath
There are so many ways I can confirm in my spirit the existence of God: the stars, the remarkable human body, the ocean, the millions (billions?) of different forms and varieties of life…
I have a new one for my list.
Three caves were on our vacation agenda this year: Marengo, Squire Boone and Bluespring Caverns.
I love the way we humans can walk around our state, glumly and dumbly wishing to be somewhere else, while below us there is undiscovered majesty. Bluespring was discovered in the 1940’s. A farmer woke up to find his pond missing. There was a pond, and then there was none. The limestome bottom gave way and an entire world was opened.
I believe I read there are some 3,000 caves in Indiana alone. It makes you wonder how much is left to be discovered.
When it comes to matters of spirituality, it’s easy to believe we only see the tip of God’s iceberg. But, it’s also easy to second guess, doubt, and shake our tiny fists armed with what little we do know.
My perspective lesson this week is simpy to remember the world beneath and let it help me focus on the world beyond.
You just went to BlueSpring? I used to live in Bedford! I love the comparison that you made about undiscovered caves and our search for the Heart of God.
Thank you! That’s beautiful area top to bottom.
Can you imagine waking up to find your pond has gone missing? I would need a little coffee to figure that one out.
