I am a science fiction lover and also not a very patient person. For many years I have been waiting for and wanting the technology I witnessed in Star Trek to become a reality. Particularly the "beaming" from place to place appealed to me a a child on long car rides. I just wanted to be instantly transported from where I was to where I wanted to be…no wait time…no spaces in between.
I was thinking about this in my drive to work yesterday morning. How impatient I can become and rush around from place to place. What have I missed in my haste? How many things have sped by my notice? What has my frustration gotten me except upset? I long to slow down and see where I am…to enter into the moment. I wonder how I might honor the gift of time and space that God has created and offered to me in this journey we call life?
Yes, if given a special power, I want to be transported from one place to another. i think that's too much fun and exciting.
