The first thing we have to do is to notice that we've loaded down this camel with so much baggage we'll never get through the desert alive. Something has to go. Then we can begin to dump the thousand things we've brought along until even the camel has to go and we're waling barefoot on the desert sand. There's not telling what will happen then. But I've heard that someone, walking in this way. has seen a burning bush.

We’ll know we have been raised from the dead when everything becomes a door- every brick wall every dead end every Judas friend everything we see and smell and taste everything we think and feel and are every mountain top and valley bottom every birth and every death every joy and every pain every ecstasy and infidelity- when every single thing becomes a door that opens to eternity and we pass through as we could never do before. And then we’ll wonder why we’ve spent so many years just stopping at these doors; why we’ve always pulled up short, and turned around, and walked away, instead of passing through.
