Intellectually Hichhiking

I’ve intellectually hitchhiked a good portion of the way. Just kinda stuck my thumb out and listened to all kinds of adventurous ideas that came along. I’ve seen some peculiar things and slept in strange places… but I’m a bit older now, not much, only 41, and some of the pieces of things seem a little clearer, and it seems easier to walk instead of run these days.

I grew up in the church; my dad’s a minister. I went to Christian private schools… even some pretty fundamentalist ones. I had enough church to leave as soon as I could get away. After I left private school because of issues concerning punk rock albums, I stuck out my intellectual thumb. I was ready to listen to socialist, fascists, communists, anarchists, liberals, conservatives, libertarians, drug dealers… my ear was open and my thumb was out…

I Am A Pilgrim ... Step Number One

“I am a pilgrim and a stranger, traveling through this wearisome land. I got a home in that yonder city, good Lord, and it's not, not made by hand.”
- Traditional Gospel Song

That’s the way I see it, I am just traveling through here, looking for that city whose architect is God. Just the way Abraham did thousands of years ago and became the father of faith. I think I’ll go that direction.
