"Since God is near to all who call upon him, we are under no obligation to cross the sea. The kingdom of heaven can be reached from every land."

//Abbess Samantham

"Pilgrimage"

Vance Creek Viaduct
Steel Bridge / 400 feet high
So much beauty to behold.

Pilgrimage can be misleading if we believe that access to God is only to be found somewhere holy. We are called to see everything with new eyes - the mundane and routine become a delight. 

The adventure, the wonder, the grace are all here now.
