Greensleeves的私人空間

麥理浩徑

It was in early August.  I gave myself a reason to register, just to be a substitution in order to fulfill the dream of the other three people.  This reason gradually emerged and evolved to be another, became more concrete and real – This is my pilgrimage.

“Every road goes to Rome”.  I know that I don’t have holidays to go to Santiago de Compostela, or Rome, or the other road of pilgrimage.  I am just walking a road of myself, no more, no less. This reminded me the journey I’ve had five years ago.  I didn’t know if I could finish.  Or I might just lay down in the wild, being a pile of dry meat, the nutrition of soil…  Anyways, I finished, alive.

This time is easier and shorter of course in comparison of a 243-mile journey.  This is just 100km, about 65miles in metrical scale.  Also, I am not alone this time.  I no longer fear of darkness as I have tasted it.  I no longer care of the distance when i know that I would be one step closer to my destination in the movement of my legs.

This may be my last pilgrimage, since my dear wouldn’t let me to be crazy twice or more.  I won’t be walking too fast because of something called teamwork.  Anyways, I would enjoy it…I mean I suppose to enjoy and it should be enjoyable.

This is also a fund raising for Oxfam.  It’ll be great if you give your extra to the poor.

Lord,

protect our doubts, because Doubt is a way of praying. It is Doubt that makes us grow because it forces us to lok fearlessly at the many answers that exist to one question.  And in order for this to be possible…

Lord, protect our decisions, because making Decisions is a way choose between one road and another.  May our YES always be a YES, and our NO always be a NO.  Once we have chosen our road, may we never look back nor allow our soul to be eaten away by remorse.  And in order for this to be possible…

Lord, protect our actions, because Action is a way of praying.  May our daily bread be the result of the very best that we carry within us.  May we, through work and Action, share a little of the love we receive.  And in order for this to be possible…

Lord, protect our dreams, because to Dream is a way of praying.  Make sure that, regardless of our age or our circumstances, we are capable of keeping alight in our heart the sacred flame of hope and perseverance.  And in order for this to be possible…

Lord, give us enthusiasm, because Enthusiasm is a way of praying.  It is what binds us to the Heaven and to Earth, to grown-ups, and to children; it is what tells us that our desires are important and deserve our best efforts.  It is Enthusiasm that reaffirms to us that everything is possible; as long as we are totally committed to what we are doing.  And in order for this to be possible…

Lord, protect us, because Life is the only way we have of making manifest Your miracle.  May the earth continue to transform seeds into wheat, may we continue to transmute wheat into bread.  And this is only possible if we have Love; therefore, do not leave us in solitude.  Always give us Your comany, and the company of men and women who have doubts, who act and dream and feel enthusiam, and who live each day as if it were totally dedicated to Your glory.

Amen.
