I call this book The Homing Spirit, thinking of the anguish of not
knowing where home is, and the hope and joy of the spirit finding
its true home. It is possible, I learned, to have a direction even
though you feel lost and don't know where you are. As I understand
it, coming home for the spirit means coming to peace. My own quest
of peace, as I tell of it here, takes the form of three pilgrimages
to Jerusalem. No doubt, calling Jerusalem 'the city of joy.' Still,
I did find a way to peace there in conversations with Jews and
Christians and Muslims. On my first journey there, 'a pilgrimage of
the mind' as I call it, I found peace of mind in the sense of a
reality greater than ourselves, in going beyond 'I think, therefore
I am' to the great 'I am' of the burning bush and the Gospel of
John. On my second, 'a pilgrimage of the heart,' I found peace of
heart in restless desire becoming prayer, in contemplative insight
into the unquiet 'imagination of the heart.' On my third, 'a
pilgrimage of the soul,' I found peace of soul in living in touch
with God, in becoming so lonely for God. So lonesome for human
beings, that I was able to be caught up in life and light and love.
As it turned out, I found the home of the spirit in a life larger
than life." --John S. Dunne
