Day 067b: Giving a most weighty Gift … (June 20, 2019)
In honor of this most magical of places (one of the very few refuges I have encountered in my life where I felt truly & fully At HOME), I decide to empty my satchel of several stones I had collected along The Way, tossing them reverently into Le Par Chemin’s Peace-full courtyard, in the hopes of leaving there more than a bit of the LOVE I had gathered along The Way …
“There are invincible fortresses in our lives – solace-laden havens upon which our travels happen; havens that greed, gluttony and all other self-centered forces assail with great power & relentless persistence. And yet these strongholds remain ever unassailable; immune to the torrents ever advancing against them in manners both vile and formidable. And so too, is our Soul within; a refuge of peace just as staunch; equally impervious to the mad rages of fear-driven ego and greed-tainted happenstance. For not matter how violently life’s crazed maelstroms rage upon them, said fortresses remain fast & sound, and no matter how the winds & rains might rage, their destructive intentions eventually fall helplessly to an exhausted calm. It is the simple construction of stone & valley that provide us with external respite from these maelstroms, and it is the chosen attitude of selfless generosity that builds a similarly massive fortress within.” ~ inspired by Craig D. Lounsbrough
