My legs woke up sore this morning. With a couple of Advil and a little warming up, I made today's trek of 19 km to Viana. We are walking through beautiful rolling hills of vineyards, olive groves and amber waves of grain. Today in particular I noticed how the Way is framed by numerous and various walls....old and new, strong and broken. There are retaining walls as well as enclosures. Stone and brick and wood...all poetically speaking to the limits in life.
Plenty to ponder as my first blisters form. What are the walls in me? How do they frame the edge? What wonderful support do they provide? How beautiful are the jagged rocks of life when stacked? What are the limits and the doors that open out from them?
Thanks for the prayers for rain. We had about two inches of much needed rain last night. Sorry about the blisters. Please take care of your feet!
ReplyDeleteYou sent us a picture of a strong foundation holding up the wheat. And yesterday we enjoyed the Adoration of the Eucharist on our beautiful altar.
