long and lonely the path I have walked seeking only solace solace for this heart my only companions, the songs of my life told in a meter unfelt and in a rhythm unheard and, all the way along, today even as yesterday and yet as tomorrow there is the song that fills my soul and pours from me as the water (now wine) poured forth that day Dios te salve Maria, llena eres de gracia the song that holds me fast to the path no matter where it might take me, no matter how long or how hard the journey there is always the song it seems to echo around me in the wind and the trees speaks to me in the wings of the birds and the cries of the children comforts me in blankets of time and coats of being speaking to me in the language that is always and ever my own el Senor es contigo there was another who walked this path with me for a time guiding me in the way that I needed to go giving me the lessons that I needed to learn until, one day, his path took him away from me all too soon and I was forced to walk a little slower than I would have liked my feet unsure of the steps that I needed to take now, on my own I found that there were times that my feet weren't ready but, I remembered his words and I remembered his way and my feet walked proud and tall knowing that I wasn't following in his footsteps but creating my own Bendita tu eres entre todas las mujeres y bendita es el fruto de tu vientre, Jesus the one remaining now watches over me guiding me from afar catching me unknowing when I stumble setting me back where I need to be and letting me know that no matter where I might go there will always be a place where my heart will be welcome a place where my soul can be at rest the place where my beginnings are held and where my endings are kept where my stories will always be heard and where my life will always be known Santa Maria, Madre de Dios ruega por nosotros pecadores ahora y en la hora de neustra muerte and when my path is done my heart will know the secrets of Life and Light I will be held by the arms of Love that I have so long for sought arms that have known the ways I have walked have felt the sun on their limbs and the rain on their fingers they will hold me close to themselves and I will be where I was meant to be, in them my past will be known and forgiven of me my future will be seen and given to me and I will know that at the end of the path is peace ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

"and when my path is done my heart will know the secrets of Life and Light I will be held by the arms of Love that I have so long for sought arms that have known the ways I have walked have felt the sun on their limbs and the rain on their fingers"   YAY!!! Oh my gosh, this is just excellent, sweet friend, you should consider posting in Spiritual Journies more often, your words would fit perfectly there also! (big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, I can't wait to see the pilgrim continue his journey and seek peace true to his heart, sweet friend, we all love you so much, I am adding this to my library because it is so good! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sven, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Sven - magnificent write, as only you can do. And I'm sure we both understand that "we know that at the end of the path is peace"/ It's there, I know it is my friend... BC |

thank you all my friends. . . "the pilgrim" will be an "ongoing" series. . . having its origins in the prayers and songs of my faith, it will tell a story. . . a story of me, and of life. . . one that everyone can find parts of themselves in, and one that everyone can learn something from. . . I hope that you'll continue with me along this path. . .and that I'll share something with you that will make you look. . . and see. . . thanks. . . -------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |
