My feet carry me in different parts of the world to understand the divinity of Mother Earth. I am grateful what Mother Earth provides beneath our feet.
Along the way, we encounter a bridge and calm water that create a perfect reflection of what is above the still water, ‘as above, so below.’
Pilgrimage takes me to sacred sites where I deepen my faith and understand other’s devotion. The road beneath our feet can be a rocky terrain. There are others that will go up hiking barefooted to feel more connected with the Earth.
A flat paved surface is a pleasure to walk along the groves of olive trees as we pray the rosary and meditate on the passion of Jesus Christ.
For more adventure, climbing Mt. Sinai requires the help of a guide or a camel ride in the dark. At Mt. Sinai, we meditated about Moses’ encounter with the burning bush and talking to his God. At the top of the mountain, we welcome the rising of the sun. With the sun’s glorious light, a new day dawning and darkness dispelled, the walk down is more treacherous. A rock beneath your feet, one could take a tumble on a slippery slope.
Walking a Sacred Labyrinth in tuned with every step and every breath we take quietens the mind. There is no right or wrong way to walk. There is no time limit. Meditating or staying prayerful as we step one foot forward, stop and pause as long as we want, then take the next step. One could never get lost going in the center with an open mind and heart . We walk out of the circle feeling rejuvenated and centered.
Returning to Hermes Emerald Tablet ‘as above, so below’, I can only translate this according to my Catholic faith.
“Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” ~ Jesus Prayer
At the end of it all, I will be the one lying beneath His feet.
In response to The Daily Post's weekly photo challenge: "Beneath Your Feet."
A truly glorious life you’re leading Perpetua, and the paths that you’ve followed have lead you to true understanding. Hope all is well with you.
Emily, how wonderful to see you. Gosh, it appears to be that way on a pilgrimage. One step at a time. All is well and hope you are to. Perpetua.
During your walks you are certainly going to feel close to God as you breathe in His creation.
You said it well, Coline. Breathing is the closes I can be with God. He is the breath within my breath. Thank you. Perpetua.
Indeed, our feet are under appreciated, they take us to some amazing spaces. I love your photos and story that comes along with it. We all will pass from this Earthly life and stand before him. Nice post, have a wonderful week, a wonderful walk with your feet.
I will never take for granted these feels, callouses included. Symbolically, our path is obstructed with rocks, stones, circles or it can be smooth sailing. Thank you, Clay. Hope your garden is keeping you busy.
Very well done.
Love, hugs and blessings … ME and the Boss

A glorious journey, Perpetua! Great take on.

I love the olive tree walk and that they paved the path around two trees rather than chopping them down
Marti, this is indeed a beautiful walk in the orchard. They cannot cut down those old trees!
Inspiring tour! Thank you for sharing!
Glad you are inspired. Thank you for saying so.
