I never thought how much that the story of God is tied up with wanderings--From Abraham (why didn't God call a 'local' boy) to Christ calling his followers to follow him--leave their nets and go into a place where they had not been before. Enchanting luring thought. C. S. Lewis said that there is really only one law: everyone always gets what he wants. I have to think this over. Maybe that is in the end. It reminded me of the Wandering Jew plant and its connection to this story.
Another line connects: "The penalty for wanting to be a settler is that you become one. Pillars of salt don't go on exhilarating marches from well to well."
"We live but a fraction of our lives."
This is a book that makes the reader want to grasp more of life.
