I paused briefly in the small church at Louvigny – to soak there in solace, yes, and yet also to sit and make a Peace Stone for Stephane; a gift he received humbly and with great warmth after arriving there a short time thereafter … “To those of us who understand that all sentient life […]
“If you have chosen a Destination, then you must find a path thereto. On the other hand, if you have chosen a Path, then you must discover its Destination. You must always choose on eo9r the other, and you can never choose both. And yet no matter which of them you choose, it is crucial […]
Smoothly parting the mists and opening my view to the beautiful town of Fichou Riumajoie (and its equally lovely church) proved to be the next in what would prove to be a very long line of quite delightful surprises … “God’s invitation to vocation completely erodes the society-driven divide between our spiritual and our professional […]
“No old road leads to new destinations. Similarly, real change only begins after one realizes that it is always unwise to pour a newer wine into an older wine skin. So if you wish to tangibly change your life, you must first decide to profoundly alter your thinking. And if you wish to fundamentally alter […]
The hilltop church at Larreule offered a wonderful space to rest and reflect and refresh my resolve … “Until every soul is freely permitted to investigate every book, and creed, and dogma for itself, the world cannot be free.

“On more fundamental level, all of us are on the same path, and as such all of us are ultimately the same. In truth, to be human is to be consciously alive, and to be consciously alive is to be looking for something (or at the very least looking at something). The more primitive facets […]
The next town, with the unusual moniker of Géus-d’Arzacq, was not far down the Road, and I paused briefly inside its church – to profess my usual resolve-laden gratitude and to light the standard candle of honorful remembrance, of course, and yet also to enjoy the stained glass portrayal of Jesus holding a lamb – […]
“To make a godly home is to create a foretaste of Heaven. Indeed, our homes — imperfect as they innately are – must first and foremost be a haven from the chaos outside. And it is in this way that they serve as a reflection of our eternal home; a place where all troubled souls […]
I walked onward and entered the village of Pomps shortly thereafter. I knew that this was the pre-planned final destination for Stephane & Co., and yet it was somehow still too early in the afternoon for me to feel in any way good about stopping here for the night. So I headed to the local […]
