TO THE PILGRIM

TO THE PILGRIM

Set out!

You were born for the road.

Set out!

You have a meeting to keep.

Where?With whom?

Perhaps with yourself.

***********

Set out!

Your steps will be your words.

The road your song.

The weariness your prayers

And at the end

Your silence will speak to you.

***********

Set out!

Alone or with others.

But get out of yourself.

You have created rivals

You will find companions

You envisaged enemies-

You will find brothers and sisters

*************

Set out!

You were born for the road.

The pilgrim's road.

Someone is coming to meet you

Is seeking you

In the shrine at the end of the road

In the shrine in the depths of your heart.

*************

He is your peace

He is your joy!

**************

Go!

God already works with you
