Collective Wayfinding
We’ve all been pilgrims on a journey
tired, exhausted, ready to give up
when the trail angels show up,
offering water, nourishment, shelter.
These angels once were weary
too, looking for the cairns
so they know to extend a smile, a hug,
a loaf of bread, jam, spills
from their garden,
time, an ear, words of encouragement,
their very own hearts, to fill
their fellow travelers, knowing what it is like
to receive these simple pleasures, abundant treasures
overflowing.
