Pilgrimage

Pilgrimage
 
We are all wayfarers here and the best part
is that our intimates, friends and acquaintances 
 
are in truth our fellow pilgrims
whose paths we have stumbled upon
 
and are briefly sharing – each of us
moving in the same direction,
 
toward the same destination,
slaves of the One Master,
 
the Maker who fashioned us and our world;
each pilgrim inwardly guided and directed;
 
answerable only to the One Who
knows us intimately and loves us completely.
 
O child of God, it’s a long and wondrous journey
through the hills and vales of your own heart.
