The farther down the road we go the more stories we collect. Embedded in these stories is the wisdom of our travels. If we are lucky, we get to tell them. If they are not told they are lost and the world becomes less interesting and less valid.
The great story tellers like C. S. Lewis, John Steinbeck, Herman Hess, and many more have left a wealth of insight and inspiration. Many ordinary and wise people will never be in print but have very significant stories to tell. Some of these may be important to you. They may provide information about what to see along the way, direction regarding which way to go, or a warning of dangers to avoid. Regardless, they are stories best told. They are stories that may resonate with your own or provide a missing link to some greater meaning.
Join us each Saturday afternoon at 12:00 PM on KENN RADIO, 1390 AM for THE JOURNEY RADIO SHOW; the telling of these stories for your enjoyment.
Siddhartha was a sojourner; one who lives somewhere temporarily. He spent his life in search of ultimate meaning. Each stopping place left him empty and needing more. He moved on; looking, asking questions, and experiencing everything available at each respite. Herman Hess told the story beautifully. Disappointment after disappointment, any one of which might serve as a lifetime for the average person, pulls Siddhartha deeper into the unknown but closer to the core of what it means for a person to exist. He left his father’s home and occupation, choosing poverty and the life of a beggar. Along the way he collected acquaintances, friends, a lover, and the desire to be wealthy. In the end he turned his back on it all and joined the one single force which, in his experience, would go on forever.
To some degree Siddhartha’s story is the story of us all. What had ultimate meaning for him may not satisfy you or me, but knowing what does is perhaps the most important thing we will ever learn.
The stories told us by those farther down the road may enrich the world we live in and point the way to our common humanity.
