The Arrows are Still There

 

On the Camino,

the whole country is in on it—

yellow arrows everywhere,

pointing you in the right direction,

helping you stay the course,

guiding your next step.

 

Now that I am home,

I miss seeing the yellow arrows

at every turn.

 

The arrows are not just

about following an ancient path.

They are invitations.

They remind me to

pay attention.

Look for the glimmers—

the pixie dust everywhere.

Go on a God hunt.

Look for beauty,

truth,

goodness,

creativity,

and love.

 

They remind me to

practice attunement.

They remind me to

pay attention

to the expected

and unexpected.

To find God

in ordinary

and hidden moments.

 

So, let's keep looking.

Let's look for the arrows

that are all around us—

not painted on the road

or displayed on buildings,

but inviting us

to notice,

to receive,

and to go deeper

into a life

of love,

justice,

generosity,

and joy.

Buen Camino.
