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

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.

Thank you Kazi, the stillness was wonderful.
You are most welcome Britt-Arnhild!
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.
Thank you Christine – a wonderful blessing to take into my weekend. I hope you have a beautiful weekend, enjoy the prayer and stillness in your heart. God bless.
