Human life is always a faith trip, there is no other life for us, no human independence, no faith free zone, we all believe each day in something or someone. To those of us who have come to believe that as humans we are also spiritual beings, a part of living is extending a hand to the spirit world as if to say, “here I am”. The Moses mural on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome memorializes this inherent and universal human desire. The desire to be noticed by God.
This desire
to be noticed by God is at times denied, scoffed at, substituted for or ignored
but the desire never quite goes away. We have all been there. The God desire may
appear to go away at times like the puddle of water after a rain storm but it has
only changed places, returning later from elsewhere. The God desire is as human
as imagination is human. We are human spiritual beings because we look to the stars, we look to
the beyond. We look beyond ourselves.
