Roving the Jericho Road
By: Kelly McDonald I’m trying to reach out to my fellow sojourners while I travel the Jericho Road. Though we wayfare together, observing each other, neighbors, strangers, and family walk their unique paths, as we wend our way while returning Home. I need to remember, on my Jericho road that those I meet are exploring their own roads, like me, trying to find their way. When I witness the trials, the tribulations of others, I pause to be helpful, though I’m not fully understanding their angst or their pain. But sometimes, without thinking, I steer clear of their troubles Allowing the distance between us To hide the sorrows that I might abate. I must realize, when I pause on my road and lift up another, It’s me who becomes the healed sojourner.
