We took off our shoes and socks and walked around the church to find a place to take a picture of our feet. The grass was cold and wet. It had been a long time since our feet had seen the sun (except for one person who took a vacation in Hawaii in January) Guide our feet - this has been our Lenten journey. On Thursday a small group of people walked along Waterworks hill to the peace park. Silently they walked to meditate and contemplate being guided by their feet.
Next week we will gather on Thursday at 5pm to walk around Maclay Flats. I wonder what our wanderings will bring forth for us there?
On the front cover of our worship bulletin, Peter Shober has chosen this quote from Anselm Grun, "Jesus is always on the way. He wanders from place to place. He is the divine wanderer who comes down from heaven to wander among us men and women and to remind us of the divine kernal within us."
A few questions come to mind as we continue with this theme:
When have you felt a guiding presence in your life?
When has walking been an important spiritual practice for you?
Has there been a time when you have wandered and through that wandering been blessed by the presence of the spirit?
Through walking have you been led to find that divine kernal within you?
Just some questions to ponder - we would love to hear your stories.
