―Let me seek, then, the gift of silence and solitude, where everything I touch is turned into prayer: where the sky is my prayer, the birds are my prayer, the wind in the trees is my prayer, and the others I happen to meet are my prayer, for God is all in all.‖ ~ inspired by Thomas Merton We then enter Logrono, another large city in which we do not wish to remain long … Here, I‘m seen waiting in a town market to buy some fruit for the Journey. ―Even when it speaks, humility listens … It is not speaking that breaks our silence, but rather the anxiety to be heard … The humble man speaks only to be spoken to.‖ ~ Thomas Merton 98
Mom -- here seen departing Logrono … ―Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint you can on it.‖ ~ Danny Kaye Pilgrim-made crosses like these adorned almost every fence we passed along the route. Archetypally, the cross is quite the powerful symbol -- representing the union of God, the self, and the Soul (along the vertical axis) that a person attains in every moment of raw gratitude (the left) felt during every act of joyful self-sacrifice (the right). ―For the Master who has dedicated his life to Loving, opportunities to do so are always underfoot.‖ ~ anonymous Amidst a sea of pilgrim-made crosses, we found a lone circle — some would say the feminine within the masculine … I would say the Divine that is felt all around us, within the Divine that is merely seen as ―above‖ or ―below‖. ―My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive.‖ ~ Albert Einstein 99
