"I could sense the spiritual wellspring of the island, yes, but it felt like it wasn’t mine to have." I know this exact feeling, the meaning just out of reach, the secret underworld looming, and me feeling like I did not have permission to access, feeling unworthy or just too Other to dip into that particular well. I love how you captured that.
You're writing is beautiful. God is steadfast. Freewill takes us on our adventures, where we find influences - some subtle, some loud - that muddle our inner thoughts and can make life here on earth - lonely, haunting, empty. I find when I seeking Him, it's because I've somehow slipped into the "colder, colder, colder" areas of life, and I need help getting back to Him. He goes no where - we do.
Since I'm from Iowa, I loved your writing about God speaking in the corn field. I happen to be writing about Moses and the burning bush today. It may seem more dramatic, but aren't the burning bush and the corn both speaking with the same voice? Nature is how the divine can connect to us.
