Poetry on "The Celtic challenge of Trasna".
When we follow vocation's call it leads us to face the toughest challenge. It comes unexpectedly in daunting ways. And it keeps on turning up. The choice to follow an untamed God down unexpected paths or turn back to a settled way of life. This vocational struggle is the "Celtic challenge of Trasna".
What is the Celtic Challenge of Trasna? Trasna is the place of crossing over. The challenge is like crossing over a stormy mountain range through an unstable pass. Once we choose to cross over there is no turning back.
Uplifting and provocative writings for pioneers and voyagers who live a vocational life in unsettled times. What erupts in-between-the-lines is our own critical relationship with God in vocation.
"Follow Christ
down unexpected paths,
at unanticipated moments,
into unsettling situations.
Enter into the heart of God..."
