This Magic Moment…
September 4, 2008
I think that the rivers of the world can be compared to the nerves of the body. Physically speaking they both have many small beginnings. These beginnings eventually become organized to travel a common path. And more often than not they spread back out again to affect many different areas, in many different ways.
Like a river, or a nerve cell, this blog is one of many different beginnings that will converge into an expedition; from Rome, Italy to Compostela de Santiago, Spain.
This expedition will carry information and nourishment on a particular course, until it reaches its finish. Once there it will again branch out and spread all that it has carried along the way so that it too can affect many different areas in many different ways.
So what will this path carry? It will carry money to help the hungry. It will bring with it attention directed at Action Against Hunger, which is the charity we all will be giving to. But what else will be swept into this current? There will be hard work, and endless days. There will be cold nights with no shelter accompanied with anxiety, and fear. But there will also be a mastery of that fear, a passing to that anxiety, and the opportunity to do some good; an opportunity to make a positive difference in some strangers life. It is my deepest anticipation that this river flows with love for humanity, a desire to share, and the energy of those who give freely.
Like a river, or a nerve cell, this blog is one of many different beginnings that will converge into an expedition; from this magic moment… forward.
