After a night in the desert, the characters begin to realize just
how lost they are. They traverse into the foothills of the mountains
trying to get a better view of where they?re at. Each one tries
to climb higher and higher to get a better vantage point to no
avail. We may search and search and search for meaning--climbing
a corporate ladder, buying new things, moving to a new area, getting
plastic surgery--but eventually we have to turn inward and discover
our divine nature for true meaning.
On
Meaning and Things
A
golden bit does not make a better horse.

As riches grow, care follows, and a thirst for more and more.
--HORACE (65–8 B.C.)
Even
asses know straw is better than gold.
--HERODOTUS (C. 484–C. 425 B.C.)

We are all traveling different paths and roads--sometimes in circles,
sometimes backwards in order to go forward. The more we deny God?s
presence in our lives, the more hopeless we can become as the years
pass. Philip Yancey states in The Jesus I Never Knew, ?Jesus? first
coming did not solve the problems of planet Earth, rather it presented
a vision of God?s kingdom to help break the earthly spell of delusion."
The Holy Spirit can give us direction. Gerry and Gerry?s trek is
much like our trek through life as we search for meaning. Having
no specific name for each character shows how all humans are virtually
in the same boat. A ways into the hike the Gerrys decide to head
back commenting ?it?s just that thing at the end of the trail.?
Is it worth chasing all the idols of the world when we know that
it eventually ends in futility and disillusionment. (Mark 8:36 ?What
good is it for any one to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his
soul??)
