Description
One foot, and then the other foot, and then again—and suddenly we’re on a journey. Our walking transforms us; we find it’s not so hard to be at peace inwardly.
Summary
One foot, and then the other foot, and then again—and suddenly we’re on a journey. Our walking transforms us; we find it’s not so hard to be at peace inwardly.
This is in spite of all that arrives: threatening, painful, and also as bright as the peonies in spring. Every step we take is into the unknown, however, others have walked the way before us, and others will come after us—how many generations, no one knows. The pilgrimage of this life is also joyous. Yes, joy is a marvelous, sudden thing and rises out of the depths, rises in us, and then we care for the world and each other.
That’s what I’ve noticed.
