In Eastern Europe, Matrishka dolls nest inside
one another. Our individual stories are like those
tiny little ones nested in the
larger ones. We usually begin
our stories from inside and then
work our way up, but rarely out!
What if we begin to look at our
story in light of the larger, allencompassing
story: stories of
the Trinity, the Universe, and
the Spirit in the World? Perhaps
then we will find ourselves
hidden more securely and deeply in the heart of
the mystery of God.
