the Madman of Gadara page 2

the Madman of Gadara page 2 by ric Gustafson


This day I will remember for a long time. The other followers of the Teacher along with myself were listening to one of his stories. He was talking about some seeds sprouting and growing. As with most of his stories, we asked him to explain it to us.
Later that day, the Teacher brought us together. " Let us go across to the other side of the Sea".
We got into a small boat. The Teacher looked very tired. He walked to the back of the boat. He laid his head on a cushion and went to sleep.
As we started to go across, the weather was fine. As we kept rowing, the sky got darker and darker. The waves got choppier. Then it started to storm. Waves began to come over the side of the boat. We all began to panic. I thought we were going to die.
I ran to the back of the boat. I woke up the Teacher. " Teacher, we are all going to drown".
