pathway

pathway
Give me my scallop-shell of quiet,
My staff of faith to walk upon,
 My script of joy, immortal diet,
My bottle of salvation.
 My gown of glory, hopes true gauge,
And thus I'll take my pilgrimage.

~Sir Walter Raleigh

 A hiker, walking for pleasure, likes to choose between several alluring trails.
The pilgrim desires only the road that leads home.

Obedient As A Shadow






A fruit of holy obedience is simplicity, simplicity of the trusting child.







"The mark of this simplified life is radiant joy.
It lives in the Fellowship of the Transfigured face.
Knowing sorrow to the depths it does not agonize and fret and strain,
but in serene, unhurried calm
it walks in time with the joy and assurance of Eternity....
in childlike trust listening ever to Eternity's whisper,
walking with a smile into the dark."
~Thomas R. Kelly

    I also have to say that my word verification for that last comment was, 'herman'. :)

    'Knowing sorrow to the depths it does not agonize and fret and strain,
    but in serene, unhurried calm
    it walks in time with the joy and assurance of Eternity...' like that.

    Haven't seen that pix of my Wee Lad.
