To Chartres

And so begins my
Spiritual pilgrimage…
My sacred journey.
With tremorous heart
I heed the insistant call
To travel to a distant land..
To visit a holy site..
To walk the ancient labyrinth.

I am pushed beyond my
Comfortable self.
I am stretching my ability to trust
I am barely hanging on to Faith!

Slowly I am moving to
The warmth of the sun…
To the call to rediscover myself.
