Waving his metal detector over the ground in a sweeping motion, he wasn’t sure what he’d find, but he knew that it was worth the search – just to see what turned up.
Willingly, he paid the price to methodically and intentionally search for the unknown.
Never in his wildest dreams would he have expected to uncover a valuable lost item. But if he’d never thought of looking … if he’d never thought to bring the tools necessary to carry out that search, he would have never found the unexpected which surpassed anything he could have ever imagined.
Over time, the vitality of who you were which included your dreams and expanded awareness of the world around you, becomes dull and lifeless as the stresses of your day-to-day existence wear on.
