It helped me see that I like this passage because in it Jesus speaks like a true pilgrim, like the perfect pilgrim -- which he is, of course. <br />Walking to Compostela, one sees so many people wanting to make sure that everything is planned, leaving very little space for surprises -- good or bad. It takes a lot of 'letting go' before one can get up and start the day with the day ahead free like a blank page.<br />Thank you. You have helped me connect the dots :-)claire bangasserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12380558962103134334noreply@blogger.com
