Allen, Nathan, and The Road to Santiago

We fly tomorrow! Up and out the door at 4am. This journey marks the end of one era and the beginning of another for me, and in seeking to find my way and my inspiration, I continue to turn to the Prayer of St. Francis for guidance on the way...

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O, Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Pyrenees here we come!
