And onward I flowed into the day, as easily as the waters that were seen meandering down the crossed over Cobb Creek, smoothly into the township of Darby and the Darby Free Library, where resident Fatuma (pictured) and librarian Joyce were both effusive in their wonderment over the Hows of The Walk and their praises […]
I flowed ever onward thereafter into the now hot & dusty day – first through Glenolden, then Norwood, and then Ridley Park – until I finally reached the township of Chester. I was feeling parched and quite tired by this point in the journey, and went about looking for a place where I could get […]
It remains to this day an abject astonishment that I almost received more empathy & assistance from this fully abandoned church than the rest of the American churches I encountered combined. Is this a premonition of how the church will continue to devolve away from The Way of Christ and towards the Unway of Paul, […]
I made it thereafter into the town of Trainer Where a series of yet-met Friends provided a series of kindnesses that made a hard day so much smoother. First there were Ellie & Jayre, who were both having “a rough day” (details neither asked for nor provided) and yet who both went out of their […]
And then I ambled into the township of Claymont and headed into Pat’s pizza for a cup of water and a moment or two of rest. After drinking the former and fulfilling the latter, I rose and headed back out onto The Road, only to be stopped by a pizza driver who was heading out […]
And then came the rain – and then came my next offered refuge therefrom thereafter … “From the time we are small children, we are taught that the path is more important than the obstacles that appear upon it.

I stopped into the Wilmington (Delaware) main library on my way out of town this morning and was immediately able to powerfully witness The Walk to fellow visitor Norris and front desk attendant Mary Anne (who turned out to be a fellow Camino pilgrim), and yet Renee in the library’s media center (where I was […]
Yet another town, yet another smooth departure therefrom … “Like a house that has a home and like any river that flows, so does Love real become when we open our hearts, and this is true even when the lights go out and even when the river encounters rocks in its way … I have […]
And onward I walked that morning – through Minquadale and then into Manor Park, thankful for the cooler temperatures and the light but steady drizzle of rain that seemed to cleanse both my Heart and the Path before me. I pulled into the Dove Diner after awhile, told the manager (Tricia) there about my Walk […]
And then it was time to leave, and out I strolled into the still-gathering rains to face the blaring bustle of traffic & capital, and to brave the now seemingly soot-ensconced trail … “Pain can mask itself as a righteous companion; silently forming a barrier between you & all that is around you, even all […]
