Pilgrimage
frees the mind,
allows exploring
of God’s puzzles,
raising self-knowledge,
in
fellowship and acceptance.
Looking out,
looking forward.
Going in a different direction with God at my side.
The large
window in Winchester Cathedral was reconstructed from shards of glass recovered
when the original windows were smashed by Cromwell’s soldiers.
Resurrection out of destruction!
Walking
ancient paths where generations have trod.
Moving
forward, letting day to day worries fall away.
Breathing
the essence of God’s creation.
Praying, being still, IN God’s presence, the Here and Now.
Sunshine
Warmth
Spring –
sounds, smells, flowers, trees, birds, sheep and lambs
Hills
Woods
Farmland
Churches beautifully
decorated for Easter, open for anyone to enjoy, pray, rest.
Friendships
deepened
Hearing
people’s stories
Sharing
meals together
Reflecting
on post-resurrection stories
Praying
together, often in hotel restaurants so other guests could see and hear us
Discovering
strength to walk beyond my normal comfortable distance
Reassurance about Philip’s wedding venue.
