Lent is a time devoted to walking with Jesus to the cross. It is life on the way, on the road, and not always on the straightest path. The journey includes the chance meetings, the unexpected stops, and the improvised detours. Just because you know where you’re going doesn’t mean you know how you’ll get there.

by Charlie Mackesy

The traveler gives up certain comforts and learns to appreciate others. What are you gaining space for as you leave some things behind?

Perspective is a powerful thing. How is yours changing?

“Mountains have long been a geography for pilgrimage…. Viewing a mountain at a distance or walking around its body we can see its shape, know its profile, survey its surrounds. The closer you come to the mountain the more it disappears, the mountain begins to lose its shape as you near it, its body begins to spread out over the landscape losing itself to itself. On climbing the mountain the mountain continues to vanish. It vanishes in the detail of each step, its crown is buried in space, its body is buried in the breath.” – Joan Halifax
