Theos-Talk Archives (January 2003 Message tt00294)

Well said, Nick. While you certainly seem to have found a "real" path that
suits you, is it well to offer that others must dig where you dig?

Who gets to decide what the "right" digging location is for you? for me? for
others? And what if we dig 500 feet together and still find no water?

Another old spiritual saying: To climb out of the dark hole one must first
stop digging.
