And here is another thing I have learned: God is with me on my walks and through the whole walk of life. I do try to make my walks a time of prayer, walking with God, as I would walk with a friend. I follow the early Christian practice and take a "word," a phrase or sentence, from my daily lectio and quietly repeat it. One day the word I had chosen was from our Lord's heart-to-heart talk with us at the Last Supper: "I am the Way." As I quietly repeated the word I suddenly realized that I was not just walking along this road. I was walking in the Way. That every step I take is in the Way, in the Lord Jesus, and is on the way, the way to eternal life. Since then my walking has been different, so much more significant.
