The Book of Exodus describes the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments being carried before the Hebrew people in a gold-covered wooden box throughout their decades of wandering in the desert. It might not be convenient to haul around a heavy box full of stone, but there’s something to be said for letting your most sacred covenants lead you.
What leads you when your path is not clear?
What leads me when my path is unclear is my humanness. I know that others have experienced this same kind of situation and that gives me something that sustains me through difficulties that, at the time, do not show me any other recourse. I guess I rely on our human condition rather that asking some special entity (or concept) to help me.
