into the caverns of tomorrow . . .

I'm listening to the Bright Eyes CD, I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning while trying to get an article written (it's late, I'm tired, and even moderately interesting things seem profound!). But this quote from "At the Bottom of Everything" actually is profound (or at least inspiring):

"into the caverns of tomorrow
with just our flashlights and our love,
we must plunge, we must plunge, we must plunge"

Well, that's it, isn't it? That's what it's like to be the church leaning into the future. What a great song. What a hopeful plunge!
