The Journey Begins by Molly
Our pilgrims from Christ Episcopal arrived today from Connecticut on Tuesday ready to begin the journey. Their delayed AMTRAK trip may be our constant reminder this week that the journey never goes exactly as planned. We never really know what may be around the next bend, and that part of the experience. We do not know what this week holds, but we have committed to making the journey together.
Our first stop was the Washington National Cathedral for a labyrinth exercise. We focused on Colossians 3 as we entered the path to seek the heart and will of God for our lives. Beautiful music on the harp and native American flute provided a contemplative atmosphere which inspired and focused us. For many, this was the first experience in the labyrinth, but all agreed that it was a powerful and moving time.
We are looking forward to a week full of wonder and surprise and challenge as we embark on the journey as individuals and as a community.
