Mara<\/span> nyingi, wengi wetu tunaishi katika ulimwengu wa kweli\u2014ulimwengu wa hisia unaojaa yale tunayoona, kusikia, kufikiri, na kuhisi. Baadhi yetu tunasonga zaidi ya ulimwengu unaohisiwa na kuingia katika ulimwengu unaoitwa ulimwengu wa kiroho, ambao hauwezi kuhisiwa au kupimwa. Wale wanaotambua ulimwengu unaohisiwa tu wanajulikana kama wanabinadamu; wasioamini; wasioamini Mungu au wasioamini Mungu; kuamini hakuna Mungu, hakuna nguvu kubwa zaidi, ”Hakuna mawazo lakini katika mambo,” kama Williams Carlos Williams alivyoandika mara moja. Wale wanaoamini katika ulimwengu ulio nje ya hisi wanazungumza juu ya ulimwengu wa kiroho\u2014au wakati mwingine ulimwengu mwingine wa Mungu, Mwenyezi Mungu, Siri Kuu ya Wenyeji wengi wa Marekani, au Nguvu kubwa kuliko wao wenyewe. <\/p>\n

Kati ya mitazamo hii miwili ya ulimwengu, kuna eneo lingine ambalo liko kwenye ukingo wa ulimwengu unaohisi. Ni nchi yenyewe, ambayo tutaiita ”Borderland.” Wakati kila moja ya mitazamo kuu ya ulimwengu, ya kidini na ya ubinadamu, ina watetezi wake (wanasayansi wengi na wanafikra wa kisasa kwa upande mmoja, Maandiko na wanatheolojia kwa upande mwingine), Borderland pia ina watetezi wa wazi. <\/p>\n

Watu wenye hekima, ambao wanaweza pia kuwa mifano ya kuigwa, mara nyingi hutoka katika mojawapo ya mitazamo kuu ya ulimwengu. Wale kati yetu ambao tunatafuta mwongozo katika kutafuta njia yetu wenyewe maishani hatupendezwi na kile ambacho wenye mamlaka wanaamini, lakini jinsi walivyofikia imani hizo. Je, safari yao kwa madai yao ya ukweli ilikuwa ya kuaminika? Waanzilishi wa Borderland wanaweza kuwa wa kibinadamu au wanaweza kuwa wa kidini. Kwa mtafutaji haijalishi kwa sababu hawajali imani kwa wakati huu, lakini wanazingatia mchakato – safari – ambayo inaongoza kwa kile ambacho kitakuwa mtazamo wao wa ulimwengu. <\/p>\n

Watu wa kuigwa au watu wenye hekima ambao wamenisaidia ni pamoja na wanabinadamu kama Albert Camus; Martin Heidegger, mwanafalsafa wa zamani wa Nazi mwenye dosari wa uhalisi wa binadamu; na hata Friedrich Nietzsche, ambaye maoni yake yanaweza kuwa sahihi nachukia.<\/p>\n

Wanabinadamu wengi kwa upande mwingine wanavutiwa na wanafikra wa kidini kama vile mtawa Thomas Merton; Martin Buber, mwanafalsafa wa Kiyahudi ”I-You” ambaye mawazo yake yapo nyuma ya ufahamu wetu wa sasa wa mahusiano ya kweli; na hivi karibuni, Papa Francis. Sio mahali ambapo mifano hii yenye hekima huishia katika imani zao; ni kama tunaheshimu na kuhusiana na safari yao. <\/p>\n

Mara tu tumefika Borderland, tuko peke yetu kuhoji ukweli wa ulimwengu uliofungwa, wenye mwelekeo mmoja au mtazamo wa kidini wenye pande mbili ambao tumelelewa. Baadhi, kama vile Camus, Heidegger, na Nietzsche, wanachukua njia ya kurudi katika ulimwengu wa kila siku unaohisiwa na hisia mpya ya rasilimali zao za ndani za kibinadamu. Baadhi, kama Papa Francis, Merton, na Buber, hupata nguvu kutoka kwa mamlaka ya juu zaidi. Lakini mtafutaji hawezi kutegemea kile ambacho wengine wamepitia. Peke yake katika Borderland, mtafutaji anachoweza kufanya ni kungoja kwa utulivu na matumaini\u2014tumaini hafifu mara kwa mara, lakini bado ana matumaini\u2014kwamba safari haijawa bure. Kwa wengine ni wakati wa kuchanganyikiwa na hofu, kwa wengine wakati wa msukosuko wa kiakili, lakini kwa vyovyote vile, ni wakati muhimu katika safari yao ya kiroho. <\/p>\n

Chochote imani zetu kama Marafiki zinaweza kuwa, na kuna wengi katika kambi zote mbili katika mikutano yetu ambayo haijaratibiwa, tunaweza kujikuta mara kwa mara katika Borderland isiyotulia ambapo lazima tutafute njia yetu mbele na miongozo safi kutoka kwa sauti ya ndani ya upendo. Hiyo ni fursa iliyoje ya kuwa wazi kwa mwongozo mpya na faraja sisi sote tunahitaji kukabiliana na changamoto za kibinafsi na za umma tunazokabiliana nazo. <\/p>\n
