I enjoyed walking The Way this morning, ambling smoothly along a stretch of Highway 11 that had wide shoulders – all while lightly sprinkled by misty raindrops falling from an overcast sky … “Is anything truly impossible, or is it more likely that the path to our goals sometimes appears too unclear to follow? It […]
“The day we decide to drop the flimsy scenarios in our cluttered minds and eschew all ‘alleluias’ of self-importance, life becomes genuine and lucid and graceful, like a flow of wellness rising up from the warm glow of each new morning … So be humble enough to see your mistakes, clever enough to analyze them, […]
It didn’t take long for me to come across St. Patrick’s Catholic Church on the outskirts of Morisstown, and its stained glass windows hinted at an astounding beauty that was indeed confirmed upon entering. I still to this day have no idea who generated these astounding creations, and yet major kudos are more than deserved […]
After reveling (and becoming fully refreshed) in the glorious calm of the St. Patrick’s main sanctuary, I exited to head back to The Way, but not before stopping off at the sanctuary’s adjoining antechamber, where three more stained glass panels (these dedicated to The Temptation of Christ in Matthew 4:8, the death of Aron in […]
“Becoming a better human is not about achieving more wealth or attaining a greater influence over others or a taller stature in society. No, in large part being a better human is letting others know that they themselves are already enough – already completely worthy of receiving a steady stream of love and caring and […]
I wasn’t so sure of this sign when I passed it on this day – knowing that any truly Divine godhead could approve of neither the innate divisiveness of religion nor the pious arrogance of righteousness. And yet as I thought about the same, I thought its message might indeed be okay – as long […]
And onward, ever onward, I flowed into the day – with many miles already behind me, and many more still to read – all for Love, all for Love, all for Love … “You’ll be hard pressed to find any story in the Scriptures in which God becomes angry because someone had too much determination, […]
It was another long night, followed by yet another early pre-dawn start – to yet another brand new, beautiful day … “A person who finds grace never lacks the courage to endure, to remain resolute in his or her principles and bold in his or her actions – even in the face of dire trials […]
It was funny how some of my most meaningful encounters on this Walk happened in the dead of night (or in this case, the wee wee hours of the not yet evident morn), and on this night the same occurred, when super-friendly Dan pulled over on his way home from a long night’s work to […]
As I might have mentioned earlier, finding places to go the bathroom had been one of my primary concerns before I set out along The Way – mostly due to the fact that I was never very flexible to begin with, and that my then 52 year old body had been beaten up pretty well […]
I walked on & on & on that morning, eventually through the town of Trentville to the Eastmore Church of God; a church that boldly proclaimed “Hope is the armor of the Soul” – a church that obviously did not yet realize that this statement was not a positive proclamation at all; that hope is […]
