 Okay, take the plunge. The treasure's not at the surface, it's underneath. If you try to read Colossians with those dull insider-outsider glasses, then you'll be forever frustrated with instructions like, complete Christ's suffering, or wives submit this way. But read it like Paul the Mystic, the adult convert who literally moved to Arabia for a three-year wilderness retreat, and you'll begin to feel an unmistakable pull. He's teasing out a sort of depth psychology, a track door out of the ego floor, into the often dismissed spiritual realm. Not into some spiritual escape, no, an opening of the spirit hatches so that everything pours in and through. So dare to mix your deepest fears and hopes with your parenting or managing and just see what happens. Open yourself to joy and to suffering. Make your inner life so rich that hope hangs off of you like tomatoes on a human July vine. Before you know it, you'll start spotting the depths everywhere, Christ within and underneath it all, weaving everything into life and into love.
