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.

~Frank W. Boreham

Glorious wastefulness,
O my Lord, Thou art!
Sunset faints after sunset into the night
Splendorously dying from my window sill forever.
Sad our poverty doth bow before the riches of Thy making might.

~George MacDonald, 'Diary of and Old Soul

      No, alas. This photo was one taken by Mitzi Schindele and I should have given proper attribution.
