Remembering

During the past week we got together and shared our memories of the time on pilgrimage.  Here are some of those memories written down:

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.
