Worlds Without End: Two Journeys:       One Physical    The Other Spiritual ...

“Write them down”, it says, over and over again. “Write down your lives!”
Well, if it’s going to stop it from its insistent prodding, I might as well appease the voice. I know someone who will be very glad I did, but I’m not about to let his name slip out on the very first page! No. And there’s also Elysia to consider. I suppose I should work her story in too.

Two journeys, one physical the other spiritual, bind Eartha and Elysia together in an understanding of the Meaning of Life through the passage of Advent towards the last Christmas of the 20th century, and the last one for both of them before they turn 40.

If the word sacrament is used correctly to describe the Outer Manifestation of an Inner Reality, you must prepare yourself for a very sacramental journey! As you follow Eartha's rollercoaster ride through her 'lives', as she describes them, I wonder if you'll recognise any of the landmarks? How many of the diverse experiences of her 'lives' will resonate with perhaps different meaning in your own? Unlike Eartha, Elysia has someone who gives her everything she has secretly wanted in a different present for every day of Advent; nonetheless they both get their heart's one True Desire at the climax of their journey on Christmas day.

If you could have everything you secretly desired for Christmas, what would those things be? And, more to the point, would you be ready for them? Will you identify with the Outer Manifestations of one journey, or the Inner Realities of the other? Only you will know the answer to that question.
