“Emily Dickinson put it best: “Instead of getting to heaven at last / I am going all along.” The Reign of God is being realized on earth as in heaven—step by step. We move on pilgrimage, which is both moving with God and toward God, trusting God on a path that is mysterious and unknown in advance. The mystery of the path means that we need to stay alert, for the Holy One may appear at any time, and at any place.”
–Tilden Edwards, Living in the Presence
