A Sacred Journey ...........



Birth is a beginning and death a destination And life is a journey: From childhood to maturity and youth to age

From innocence to awareness and ignorance to knowing

From foolishness to desecration and then perhaps to wisdom.
From weakness to strength or from strength to weakness and often back again
From health to sickness and we pray to health again.
From offense to forgiveness from loneliness to love from joy to gratitude from pain to compassion from grief to understanding from fear to faith.
From defeat to defeat to defeat until looking backwards or ahead

We see that victory lies not at some high point along the way but in having made the journey step by step a sacred pilgrimage.

Birth is a beginning and death a destination And life is a journey A sacred journey to life everlasting.
