What does "Life in the Far Country" mean? It's a nod to an artist whose music I am especially fond of these days. He wrote a song called "The Far Country" and named his album after it. It's based on Meister Eckhart's quote "God being at home, while we are in the far country."
The more I think about that, the more its truth pierces me. I live in a world that is not my home. And every day I struggle against the desire to find satisfaction and approval here. Meanwhile, a mansion is being prepared for me. And how many days do I walk through this life as though this were the end. Thank goodness it's not.
That home gives me hope.
