Vagabund Seeker
Vagabund is a name for
someone who has no home, no permanent address, but wanders through the world.
Does he seek for something? For some better place? As if no place is
good enough to keep him stay permanently.
Like Bosnian pop singer Zdravko Čolić in one of his songs says:
I Race through prairie,
Rove through the stars,
Fight with the winds,
Hide in the woods,
Hang out with the ramblers
Maybe in your heart too something vibrates on this picture that paints
inner restlessness?
Maybe deep inside you can see yourself in it?
Are you ready to become a seeker?
All people, more or less seek something. Even if they have never left
the place where they were born, their thoughts are always searching for
something, their hearts hope and wait for something. Some people search some
specific things; choose what they consider as most valuable, fight for it and
at the same time try to avoid things they don’t like. Of course they never
succeed in that completely and cry and laugh exchange in their lives as said in
Bible that to everything there is a season. But they start ever again,
inventing new, better strategies.
But also those that don’t know exactly what they want wander through
this world hoping for something to happen, some real lasting happiness, that
never comes, or if it seems that it shows its beautiful face to them, it pops
out. And all over again…
But they are not at all real
seekers. They just sleep and seek in their dreams.
Still there are people that
start to flair final meaningless of it all, people that know that there is no
permanent abode in this world for their hearts... and in such man feeling awakes about existence of something
completely different, wonderful and real, although still invisible. Invisible
because their eyes were for a long time closed, until question of meaning waked
them.
Then they become seekers –
led by longing for finding what is real, what is ultimate truth.
According to the eternal law that longing attracts the power they need to begin the final quest and to persist on that way to the end. That strength comes from the imperishable kingdom, because what such people search is imperishable. Imperishable means the only One that really exists and that means only one worth of search, worth of our heart, of our life.
As written further in the
mentioned song:
What
is life, what is death,
What
is fear?
There is only You,
You
give hope and might,
To
seek further and further,
That
home in which You live
If we stay faithful to that,
in the beginning still silent, current of power, to that longing, light in our
heart will be ever brighter and will lead us safely through all fear and
obstacles that may come our way, right to abode of the light and love, that is
our real home.
