The Crossing of the Red Sea.

http://frescohealth.com/product/fresco-hepa-filter/ There is a lot of narrative in the Scriptures, but the most satisfying and important readings of it will always be spiritual.  One way to do this is simply to make all the characters internal.  As I heard the reading of the Crossing of the Red Sea last night, I saw it this way: Moses and Israelites, Pharaoh and his riders are all within.  As you leave one part of your life and journey to the next, what crosses and what gets left behind?  What part can sustain something like eternal life, and what gets covered by the waters and flows back into the ooze?  Many of the most glittery things, the pomp and the pride, do not make it, “his chariots and his charioteers.”  The pilgrims arriving from the far shore in Dante’s Purgatory sing the Psalm “In Exitu Israel de Aegypto“.
