MEETING HALFWAY: SHINE JESUS SHINE!
Between Emily Dickinson's Amherst and my own--
I refill my holy water bottle
light a candle
say a prayer, and set out to return--
But
not
necessarily
in
that
order!
Cb
Amen
Amen
SHINE JESUS SHINE!
Thomas Merton captures the meaning of inner pilgrimage for me when he says: "I look into my own heart and see a big mess, contradictions, (trauma and loss). When I see this, I have to travel it." I no longer see trauma and loss when I look into my heart-- thanks be to God. I see living alone now as making the return inner pilgrimage "on crowded spiritual path," that when nurtured, can be "a love offering to God." And a beautiful one as well. Amen ⛵
