Ever wondered why a flowing river calls so deeply to the human heart? Join us on this episode of WMF where Christopher shares his 12-mile canoe trip down the Conestoga—navigating everything from bald eagles to city wastewater—and Mike reveals how class-three rapids unlocked a moment of pure wonder for his 11-year-old son. Bill unpacks our identity as homo viator (man on a journey), while diving into the soul-crushing disease of modern busyness, and Peter Gabriel’s Washing of the Water. Step out, slow down, and rediscover how Love is at the true source of the ancient questions every human has pondered: Where do we come from and where are we going?
