The Journey

This quote comes from Rosemary Shirley, a new postulant of the Order.

I am not sitting, I am on a journey. Every Christian may apply these words to hinself or herself. To be a Christian is to be a traveler. Our situation, says the Greek Fathers, is like that of the Israelite people in the desert of Sinai: we live in tents, not houses, for spiritually we are always on the move. We are on a journey through the inward spaces of the heart, a journey not measured by the hours of our watch, or the days of the calender, for it is a journey out of time into eternity.

--Kallistos Ware, The Orthodox Way (7)
