Jesus said to them, “What are you looking for?”
They said … “Where are you staying?”
He said to them, “Come and see.”
They came and saw where he was staying,
and they remained with him that day.
—John 1.38-39
You’re not looking for an answer.
What you seek isn’t an explanation
and can’t be explained.
You’re looking for a presence.
Not a what but a who.
You can’t understand.
You can only see.
But you can’t see from there.
You have to come along.
You have to stay a while.
Nothing may happen.
You might just be there together.
Remain with him.
That might be all.
It will be enough.
Come and see.
Stay there.
