Oh campers, my mind is ablur with all that is going on these daze. Of course the bad is so bad that that stands out like the proverbial sore thumb and captures and captivates us down to our deepest insides. We tend to dwell in it’s embrace, not that we want to but because we are somehow drawn to it like proverbial moths to the flame.
But there is the a flip side to all this. A new positive side is struggling toward it’s birth. There are signs and wonders appearing here and there like hopeful little flowers growing out of the cracks in the concrete. And my mind is ablur and aglow this morn with these visions of new ways and realities.
Below is a comment that came in today from Diego from down south, one of the group I lovingly call the Marauders. I really wish that he lived next door to me where I could talk to him whenever I felt the need. Well, of course that goes for all the Marauders and all the readers and supporters here at Caminoheads blog. Love you guys!
¡Hola peregrinos!
Great reflection this morning from Dynamic Catholic and Matthew Kelly…tying in with the themes out of Ravens Ranch today.
Traveling thru life, are we tourists or pilgrims? Are we just looking for souvenirs, attractive things and distractions? Saint James taught us The Way by taking Our Lord’s command all the way to “the ends of the earth”…looking for, listening to and waiting for God.
We peregrinos need to remember to continue to live, especially these days, expecting nothing but experiencing everything profoundly …knowing we are exactly where God wants us to be right now.
Throughout this life journey…Going back to help someone carry their burden by all means and thru prayer…is far greater than getting over with the stage on the map.
Maybe God put the world in this “time out” stage for all of us to take a breath and stop touring with our lives.
Good call on your seed selection. Hope it piles high on the roadside stand!
Avoiding distractions…
Diego
And so, that’s the way it looks for me this morn loves, Felipé.
Dear Felipe,
Gosh, I was swallowed by the chaos this little creature has created in the world… work-wise though! I have been reading the blog late at night… oh, I miss my moments of commuting to the office at dawn, when I could type the comments in my phone!!
As said, work-wise the days have been so full, that somehow it makes me forget what is going on in the world…that is as dangerous as being in the same circumstances of normal life… when busyness is normal and we just forget there is another world outside… And I suddenly realized there is a great danger on that attitude…
Diego said it perfectly… and he made me wonder… what if this was meant “to be a “Time out” stage for all of us to take a breath and stop touring our lives” and I am missing the chance?
In any case, this is the right time to stop and think… This will be an Easter like no other… and I look forward to it.
Renewed loves,
Cris
