Working in the Desert Garden by mythsteps published on 2024-03-27T21:16:43Z WORKING IN THE DESERT GARDEN As a child I felt encouraged when I heard how Moses managed to exit Egypt. Like him, I waited patiently and when those waters finally parted I split. But then as I explored the desert I discovered a part of the story not mentioned in Exodus: how the chains remain within us long after our brave escape. To those struggling to find their way free I’ll share what I know for sure: you must loosen those chains slowly— link by link by link by link. When such tedious progress burdens me down I’ll lift myself by remembering those victorious Moseses I’ve met— they told me: keep going and you will eventually reach the promise land of peace but along the way don’t forget to appreciate the countless blessings of this desert garden.
