Day 061p: Peace with Patrice … (06/14/2019)

I walked easily enough into the upper outskirts of the city of Figeac, and the Pas si Loin (translation: “not so far away”, or maybe “pretty close to here”) gite was the very first structure I passed. Last night’s pilgrims had already long since left and yet it was still pretty early in the day, so only proprietor Patrice was on hand when I knocked on the door. He answered, heard a highly shortened version of my mission, and then brought me not only the requested glass of water, but also a small bag in which he had placed an apple, a banana, and the leftover bread from last night’s pilgrim meal … :O

“The person who is truly wealthy is the one who exudes kindness, caring, and generosity. He help others in need, offers things that money can’t buy, and spends time with the depressed and the downtrodden. Money isn’t needed for riches to flow — for only Love brings the true treasure.” ~ inspired by Ellen J. Barrier
