Day 063o: Hanging out with Raf … (06/16/2019)
This is Raf, the gentle pilgrim from Belgium who without any prompting whatsoever* offered me half his own lunch while we were sitting in the shade of a huge tree in the Bach town square … Thank You again, Raf! 😀
“Some have said that the only way we will ever love our neighbor as ourselves is by getting to know our neighbors – to be with them and learn about them and converse with them and hear their stories, and all of these things are fine & good, to be sure. And yet none of them will ever allow us to truly Love our neighbor. No, my friends, the only way to truly Love our neighbors is to treat them with gentle acts of unearned Goodness – in other words: to treat them as if we already know them, and indeed have known them well for years.” ~ inspired by Eric Overby
*For those who are just joining in (and for those who might have forgotten), I never even indirectly asked for food for the entire 4000km+ stretch of The Walk. If vegan foodstuffs were offered, I always gratefully accepted, and yet asking or begging for the same was out of the question – and never once occurred … :O
