Sometimes I come across other people's writings or pictures that give me glimpses of grace...
"Our hearts are set on pilgrim roads not to satisfy ourselves with finding one holy place,
not to romanticize this thin place,
but to take the experience of the Holy back into the thick of things..."
Murphy Davis, from Around a Thin Place
People can take journeys up to mountaintops or go to church or temple or on a pilgrimage and come off the mountaintop, out of church or temple, or back from pilgrimage, and feel a little weary, disappointed about being back in the "thick of things" in the world. But as Murphy Davis points out and as countless saints have discovered there is the beautiful opportunity to take the experience of the Holy back into thick of things...to be blessed while being a blessing.
