A long awaited walk. When I got to the cathedral square I sat down to soak it in. It’s hard to summarize how I felt, am feeling. Mostly it’s gratitude and love, for friends and family, for God. For it all.
Tomorrow morn I’ll attend the pilgrim Mass at the cathedral and enjoy one more day in SDC before heading to the UK for a bit, then home to S & E (& C).
This morning’s lectionary reading was from 2 Chronicles, a book in the Bible that isn’t exactly a page turner. The last line was, “and the Lord gave them rest all around.” At this moment, I’d summarize my pilgrimage as a gifted rest. Rest to a racing mind. Rest to ego. Rest to attempts at control. Rest to BS. Rest in what is.
Perhaps in time I’ll write something about this that makes more sense. But maybe not. All I know is, I pray a portion of this lives in me and I in it.
