A Stumbler's Walk | THE POWER OF STORY Part 2(ish)

I have been caught up in two sentences.  The first is cumbersome and a tad difficult. The second, is easier to understand, but may be just as odd.

These two sentences make up the first four verses of the Epistle of First John. 

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life -- the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us -- that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. And we are writing these things so that our joy may be complete. -- 1 John 1-4

THE POWER OF STORY part 2 will be coming soon. For now, let those versus resonate. There is something deep within them. They speak to HIStory and they speak to ours. They speak to light and life and transformation. 

(See, there I go... writing when I should be contemplating. More to come.)

For now...
