Pilgrims return home
Hello, Reader Land! We are back! Back from a fantastic, whirlwind, life-changing, gut-checking, priority discerning, revealing (I was about to say “revelating”), humbling, emotional, beautiful pilgrimage to Lourdes. Not a trip- a pilgrimage. There is a difference, and I hope to share that with you.
I hope to break down day by day the entire pilgrimage, so expect a string of posts about each day, possibly interspersed with other thoughts that come to me (discourse and dialogue part 2?) But, for this first post I wish to open a door.
