Lawrence Hall [email protected] Following a Path Worn by Pilgrims -Doctor Zhivago, p. 75 No one is first along a pilgrim road Other footsteps began our journey for us - To Bethlehem, Emmaus, Damascus – Wherever the heart is centered in hope Someone has stepped on this cactus before And sat on that rock to pull out the spines And muttered about the indignity Of a holy man pestered with stickers But humility is part of the search Because No one is last along a pilgrim road
