Our habit of being distracted by this thing and that moment serves to keep our eyes off of the core issue: Our fear, anger, discontent, distrust and grasping.

This shell is a symbol of pilgrims who walk this pilgrimage. Most have one attached to their backpacks so others will know they are pilgrims. I traversed 5 mountain ranges and the great Meseta (much like Nebraska actually!) as I walked from Roncevalles, Spain to Santiago de Compostela... I hope your celebration was good.<br />"Ginn"<br />In Steamy SCVirginia ("Ginn")https://www.blogger.com/profile/17587919109305422263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3898757412053197620.post-40651030684624694642012-05-24T05:47:14.788-05:002012-05-24T05:47:14.788-05:00Nice Article.

You've reminded me that I just need to keep sowing seeds.
