This was the inspiration for our prayer service last evening. My first thoughts took me to the hundreds of times in my life I walked on the beach and always felt a calmness like no other. An image of my feet slowly sinking deeper into the sand as I stood at the waters edge now creates a new image of deepening faith and committment to the mission.
Being blessed to be in the presence of all of the others who share the committment here is an awesome experience. Now it is as if I can look down the beach and see 150 foot steps walking in the sand, heading in the same direction.
Brother Louis De Thomasis, spoke of seeing the present, saying the now is not okay, and then transforming the future.
I'm sure I will need more time walking the waters edge to ponder this more deeply. And how fortunate I feel to have 150 foot steps making imprints as we walk together.
