Repentance is turning toward our deepest desire. It really is, no kidding. Somewhere along the way we need just enough life experience to realize that in order to discover our deepest desires with often have to look outside ourselves. We need the wisdom of others. We need...(what shall we call it?)...mmmmm...ah, God. We need the stunning mystery of creative life and love we call God.
Repentance is quite literally turning toward this wisdom and this mystery again and again--like a person with a compass hiking in a lovely, challenging, ever-new landscape.
Deepest desire. True north. A good compass. An open, and perhaps adventurous, heart.
