What's in a name?

So, "Chasing the Goose" comes from a book I am currently reading. (Wild Goose Chase by Mark Batterson) The "Wild Goose" in this book is the Holy Spirit. The Celtic Christians named the Holy Spirit An Geadh-Glas, which translates "Wild Goose." They had the idea that the Holy Spirit was mysterious and untamed; following him meant uncertainty and maybe even danger. In our technologically advanced world and intellectually based beliefs, this description is counter-intuitive. "What do you mean we can't explain away the Holy Spirit?" The idea of "untamed" speaks to me. It means that I can't put it in a box and pull it out whenever I want or need it. It means that I won't have all the answers. It means that I have to have faith to believe something so strange and "unproven" by scientific evaluation. To me, that speaks excitement and adventure...an awesome way to live. Who wants to cruise through life having all the answers and never being stretched in the faith arena? Who wants to put one foot in front of the other "hoping" that they are happy today? Who wants to live a life with zero adventure? I am choosing to "chase the Goose" and embrace uncertainty. I want a life that is more than ordinary...a life that has purpose and meaning...but meaning that is beyond just my personal happiness.
