Day 5 – 6

Relationships – Holding on and letting go

Yesterday I walked alone for most of the day and didn’t manage to reconnect with my walking gang before needing to bed down for the night. My first reaction was mild concern. Have I lost contact? Will I see them again? But my faith kicked in and I looked for the opportunity being put before me to meet other people. And sure enough I met and spent time talking with two former Jesuit priests who are walking together. As my eldest celebrates his birthday today, I am reminded that cherishing the time I have with those I love is important because letting go at some point is inevitable.
