The journey continues.
We continue putting one step in front of the other.
Our mind wanders.
Our thoughts drifts as we seek to make sense of a world of conflict and mistrust.
We put one foot in front of the other.
Stumbling over a changed path, we remember what WAS and what WILL-BE.
As we journey, we seek the truth in a world of mythology and mistrust.
We cower when we see unknown travelers on the horizon.
Jesus answered, “…I was born and came into the world for this reason: to testify to the truth. Whoever accepts the truth listens to my voice.” (John 18:37b CEB)
With each step we consider the truth of the teachings of Jesus.
Take a deep breath, close your eyes.
Do you not perceive it?
[moment of silence]
The Spirit is with us in the NOW.
She dances before us luring us to the WILL-BE.
Rooted in the Spirit, we are open to new paths.
Our pilgrimage continues.
Amen.
