Issue 20.1 | 10 April 2020
Beautiful, Julie. You will walk back from the center together.
Thanks Jo! Yes, let's!
Not only is this evocative for this Good Friday, but it is also a poem that unfolds slowly. I love the timing and the peace in the poem. Very well done.
Thanks Dan! Yes, it was so good to it presented today!
Wonderful poem – thank you
Thanks so much, Ellen!
So many connections… Wonderful timing for Good Friday. I will come back to this one again and again. Thank you.
Thanks, Nancy. I'm glad it resonated with you!
I agree with all the comments, beautifully worded and also comforting, thank you.
Thanks Jane!
Teases the soul.
one step at a time pilgrimage
Yes, Bill! Every journey does indeed begin this way!
I see the inference of death too in those first two lines.

Yes, David. Death is a possibility here too. I can feel the chalkiness of the gravestone rubbing. Thanks for your response!
