Rodent Regatta

We search for our keys. We search for jobs. We search for approval from friends, family and the Joneses.

What’s happening is really a desperate search for meaning within the power, position and prestige we hoped would come from material pursuits. Finer clothes don’t do it. Finer vehicles don’t do it. Finer homes don’t do it. More powerful jobs don’t do it. Fancy titles from companies that lay people off by the thousands never will do it.

What can give meaning? What gives hope? That’s just the problem. ”What” isn’t going to quench the kind of thirst that gnaws at people!

This morning, I’ve seen two statements that prove how feverishly people look in all the wrong places:

”The DaVinci Code is nonsensical, but its sales attest to a craving for belief of some kind.”

”More to the point, the very existence of The Pet Psychic as a program on national television and the success of What the Animals Tell Me indicates with crystal clarity the fact that millions of Americans are trapped in patterns of spiritual darkness and confusion.”
