Day 21

Lord, You have come to the lakeshore Looking neither for wealthy nor wise ones You only asked me to follow O Lord, with Your eyes You have searched me And while smiling have spoken my name
Now my boat’s left on the shoreline behind me By Your side I will seek other seas You know so well my possessions
My boat carries no gold and no weapons You will find there, my nets and labor 

Señor, me has mirado a los ojos Et sonriendo hasdicho mi nombre En la arena he dejado mi barca: Junto a Ti buscaré otro mar 

You need my hands full of caring Through my labors to give others rest And constant love that keeps on loving 

O Lord, with Your eyes You have searched me And while smiling have spoken my name
Now my boat’s left on the shoreline behind me By Your side I will seek other seas 

You, who have fished other oceans
Ever longed for by souls who are waiting My loving friend, as thus You call me 

Señor, me has mirado a los ojos
Et sonriendo hasdicho mi nombre
En la arena he dejado mi barca:
Junto a Ti buscaré otro mar. Lord, You Have Come to the Lakeshore— 
I guess this song in many ways is so haunting and beautiful reminding us that Jesus was gentle and caring, compassionate and loving. Forgiveness being the hallmark of what he said and did. 
As I walk this song often comes into my head and heart. If you haven’t heard it I encourage you to take some time yo find it and listen to it. I haven’t heard it this time while walking the Camino but I hope by the time I make it to the sea I will. 
It’s amazing that God’s grace can come to us through the kindness of strangers, through the love of friends and family, through nature’s abundance, through hope revived when we take the time to listen, wait, breathe deeply and take a chance to go on a journey…

Buen Camino
