How blessed I was by Nature’s innate & ever-present magnificence along the entirety of my Walk, never more so than in this particular moment — when dancing gusts of wind turned an neighboring bamboo grove into a swayingly syncopated testimony to the Truth that enormous and awe-inspiring scenes of Beauty surround each & every one […]
I walk onward, into and through the town of Preverenges, and then come across what proved to be one of the most Peace-full places I encountered on the entire Journey — a bench along the lakeside path; a path now covered with a thick layer of soft mulch, and a bench sheltered by a thick […]
I saunter-limp onward all the way to the city of Morges, where the local protestant church is locked up tight (sadly typical) and its Catholic cousin is wide open and welcoming (just as commonplace). I thankfully enter the latter’s peaceful sanctuary and hunker down on one of the rear pews to rest and write a […]
I headed out once more and was walking through an interesting lakeside park along another smoothly paved walking path when I sensed (possibly overheard) two people coming up behind me. This was no surprise, of course — seeing as how I was still in a great bit of pain and was limping along rather slowly, […]
I wake easily this morning, enjoy a late breakfast, and then Noelle drives me back to exact spot where I had left The Path the day before. I know that there is only one direction of travel at this point — southward with Lake Geneva on my left — and yet I am happy nonetheless […]
This morning was one where I flowed along The Camino’s ever-changing yet always Beauty-full path. Admittedly still more than a bit limpy (and thus still more than bit wobbly), I did so smoothly nonetheless; with a smile on my face that was almost as large & serene as the one glowing forth from my Heart […]
It is critical to remember that it is not WHAT we do or don’t do, but rather WHY we do or don’t that matters. Just as important, regarding that all-important WHY, is the simple Truth that everything done or not done for others will ultimately bring Peace and is therefore Right, and that everything done […]
Walking through the village of Buchillon on this clear-yet-blustery day, I came across the restaurant Au Vieux Navire (roughly translated — “Aboard the Old Ship”) and decided to enter and ask for some water to help fuel my Journey. This turned out to be yet another relatively high-end establishment, at the time sprinkled with small […]
Life Tip: Avoid letting pass unattended any opportunity to beam the Message of selfless LOVE … 😉 “Just as it is a deeply poignant sin to bodily walk a mile into Nature without residing there in spirit, so too is it a great & terrible tragedy to pass by another without deeply sharing your Soul.” […]
And once again I came across a more-than-merely-tall tree that had recently fallen across the path and blocked my way, only this time there was absolutely no way around (the tree’s trunk — obscured by vines in the picture attached below — was a good three feet in diameter and it extended all the way […]
It’s best for all of us to avoid slipping into feelings of arrogance or overconfidence after successfully navigating any particular challenge or obstacle, and yet nowhere is this more true* than while walking a peace pilgrimage — a Truth with which I was confronted on this very day. For no sooner had my two impromptu […]
