Journeys

Even when we least feel like taking a trip we seem to be on a journey. Finding a comfortable chair to sit, a good book to read, a fine view to enjoy... all in the course of the journey of life. Sometimes the destination is sure and clear, but most of the time we have a general idea of the route and suddenly the path becomes twisted with too many expectations and too little resources. This year my Lenten journey is calling on me to find an inner peace, if not only in the context of my spiritual journey, but...

as I was writing this earliert today, my computer went on the blink and suddenly I am struggling with a very bad virus. Maybe I should condsider it as a twist in the road.

The journey for most in Japan is filled with trepidation in the aftermath of their disaster. We are all connected in this human suffering. My prayers still go out to them and everyone around the world who are affected.

Journeys
The disappearing light
Leaves a sadness in its wake
Sometimes
We all need
From life
A little break

The disappearing pain
Leaves room for happiness
Most times
We all need
In life
What we can take

The disappearing years
Leaves some wisdom
Always
We all need
From life
This important state

The disappearing beauty
Leaves inner acceptance
Hoped
We all need
From life
A reassuring safe place
