The Journey Before the Journey


I am finding out about journeys. It is the help and enthusiasm of friends that is fun. Almost as though they are part of the journey. So I thank them. For my part, where to go and what to see? I realized today I needed to keep my intention close and listen inside. What is calling you Diane? There is where you go. Where are you being called to, that is where you go. The other morning I woke up with the city Exeter ringing in my ears. Today I spoke to friends who loved Devon. Interesting Exeter is in Devon. There are many journeys in a journey. I find as the days go by after I have spent some time with the map, patterns are becoming clear. Locations are calling to me and my original thought of spending lengths of time in one place feels so right. We have been watching a show that has Oxford as it's backdrop and I long to stay in places where I do not have to leave tomorrow, where I can become part of the culture for a moment in time. When I move inward with that thought I hear the call of the Celtic. The call I have been hearing for the last year and a half. Help me to listen and hear is my prayer today.
