The Lenten Journey
Journey -- from the French for one day's travel
The Lenten Journey
A season's travel inside who I am.
Like the journey to Selma
Not just a journey from one city to another
As a nation, we came to know something of a terrible sin
that still remained after Emancipation
A journey that made us open our eyes, our hearts and minds.
What is this year's Lenten Journey going to teach me?
Da Vinci wrote words similar to these
Having made a journey into the heavens,
even though you walk the soil
you will often look skyward
wanting to be there.
Once I have tasted the freedom of self-discovery
I want more.
Never turn away from the invitation.
