200/499 … on loosening the Soul (10/06/08)
My three days of service come to an end, and I feel so blseed to have been able to serve other pilgrims with the same gentle selflessness I have been shown over the past two+ weeks. As I depart Tosantos, I turn and gaze back upon the famous local church which has been literally carved into the side of the mountain. Talk about a “house built on stone”!
“We are like a ship fastened to the shore … We are like a swimmer who prefers to walk rather than take to the water. O my God, sever these moorings — loosen the thread from the wings of my Soul — plunge me into the sea.” ~ Peter Eymard
