travel

I really want to go somewhere - anywhere - now that the leaves are falling from the trees, the mornings are frosty and there is snow on the mountain tops. I long for the days of flying but I need to reroute. In the expanse of each new day, I need to let go of the world and its destinations and travel inward.

I don’t need a car, a train or an airplane for the purpose of finding joy. In the stillness of my space, I can reach out to God and I am filled with thanks, love and life. My soul has the sun and I can feel its warmth within me. The surf of my spirit joins the chorus and cadence of the waves as I walk on the sandy shores of my daily life. I continue this inner journey and find peace and healing from my Maker.

I have walked the cobbled streets of Rome, tasted the pomerac fruit of the Caribbean. I have seen palm trees swaying from the Pacific wind and I have tasted the salt on my lips from ocean sprays. I have soared into the clouds and watched the whales breech along the coast, but today I travel to the place untouched by human hands into my soul. The light floods the landscape of my life relfecting rays of sunrises and sunsets.

My longing is a connection to the God of the universe and as I read his Word, I am reminded of ancient places and meet all sorts of travellers. I sing praises and hear the music reverberate through my veins. I pray to Him and am transported to indescribable places of beauty that I see through observant eyes. And so, as I sit at my morning meditation table, my spiritual journey continues as I learn His ways, lean on Him for strength and wait for Him to continue showing me HIs glory. My journey isn’t over. Judges 18:5-6

 Then they said to him, “Please inquire of God to learn whether our journey will be successful.”

The priest answered them, “Go in peace. Your journey has the Lord’s approval.”
