An elder wanted to teach a group of young men the meaning of risk. "Once upon a time," the elder told them, "a crew of Chinese laborers were flown regularly into Burma to do road work there. The flights were long and boring, and the work was very difficult, so the crew took to playing cards. Since they had no money to play with, they decided to bet themselves. The one who lost, it was decided, was to jump out of the plane without a parachute." The listening young men were shocked. "That's horrible," the group of young men said. "Well, maybe," said the elder. "But it certainly made the game more exciting. The truth is, you never live so fully as when you gamble with your life." Excerpted from: "The Prophets" by Joan Chittister.
The lesson is: if we want to win the game of our lives, we will give everything we have and risk all. When we near the other side of each river we cross, we will have the chance to consider anew the meaning of this particular moment in life. God will ask each of us to decide once more whether we will settle down at that point and quit; rest in comfort, satisfied with our successes or discouraged by our losses; or continue the journey and once again put ourselves in the next river we are asked to cross.
'To be on journey
is to love your life enough to change it,
to choose struggle instead of exile,
to risk everything
with only the glimmering hope you are
on the right path.' Andrew Kopkind
