the madman of Gadara 2013 page 1 by ric gustafson


This day I will remember for a long time. The other followers of the Teacher along with myself were listening to him tell us a story about some seeds sprouting and growing. As with most of his stories, we asked him to explain it because we did not understand.
Later that day, the Teacher said to us " let us go across to the other side of the Sea'. When he got into the small boat, he looked very tired. He walked to the back of the boat, laid his head on a cushion and went to sleep.
As we started to go across, the weather was fine but as we kept rowing the sky got darker and darker. The waves got choppier and then it started to storm.
Waves began to come over the side and we all began to panic. I thought that we were going to die. I ran up to the Teacher and woke him up. " Teacher, we are all going to drown".
