A Great Pilgrimage

A Great Pilgrimage
I felt in need of a great pilgrimage
so I sat still for three
days
and God came
to me.
-Kabir

Pamela McCauley shared the wonderful poem above in a comment she left on my post about Africa. She also shared this great quote from a Ugandan Sister who said, “You have watches, but no time. We have no watches, but plenty of time.”
Wishing you a weekend of spaciousness. May the Holy One come to you in the stillness and fill the wide open spaces of your heart.

Thanks for both these wise reminders. I will take them with me, or rather try to take them with me, though the rest of this wee-end.

You are most welcome Britt-Arnhild!
