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.

Gratefulness



Thou that hast given so much to me,

Give one thing more, a grateful heart...

Not thankful, when it pleaseth me:

As if Thy blessings had spare days:

But such a heart, whose pulse may be

Thy praise.


~George Herbert
