I still don’t know where the river begins, or where it ends. I don’t know where it comes from, or where it goes. I don’t know what it looked like yesterday, or what it will look like tomorrow,”<br />Father Dominic put forth.<br /><br />“How the heck am I supposed to see all that from here?” Thomas pleaded.<br /><br />Father Dominic smiled, his body shaking slightly as he silently laughed.<br /><br />“Exactly, Thomas. Exactly. Now, think of your life as this river. If I were to ask you to describe it to me, how much of your life would you be able to share?”<br /><br />This was a question Thomas had never thought about before. Considering his life like this felt strange, uncomfortable.<br /><br />“I guess I’d share just about as much. I’d only talk about the part I can see right now. I guess I’d only tell you about what I know,” Thomas offered.
