Travelling

Travelling …

On your journey
You have choices, responsibilities
There right in front of you
Everyday, never going away

Foot-steps you take maybe a mistake
Or maybe they’re where you’re meant to be
Right here, right now
Sit for awhile, take in the view and smile

Moving on the search or discovery
Night and day, summer or spring
Chances pass by to be taken, or not
Hear the song

Jump into the future, grab change
Accentuate the infinite possible thought
All the way until its gone, gone, gone
Travelling …

Abbot Dr. Burkhard Ellegast, OSB

"We tend to want to capture things because we usually see freedom as something that has no borders or responsibilities. And because of this we also end up trying to enslave all that we love – as if egoism were the only way to keep our world well balanced. Love does not limit, it broadens our horizons, we can see clearly what lies outside and we can see even more clearly the dark places in our heart."
