WALKING THROUGH LIFE
Florentino UlibarriWalk through life
carrying your message and good news;
walk unbowed
in spite of the rigours of the way;
walk straight ahead
without any fear of storms and hurricanes;
walk calmly
even though there are hidden wolves.
Go without a bag;
to travel light;
without coins
so they don't crease your soul;
without luggage,
just a gown and sandals;
but full of daring
and delivered peace.
Slow down
and rest from worries and afflictions;
greet and dialogue
each day with those who come and go;
enter the houses
and share food and hearts;
wash off the dust
and heal your scars.
And in the early morning,
go out again to the ways and squares,
meet up with people
and embrace with tenderness
those who pass by;
and thank the way and its stories
respecting
traditions and surprises...
Every day,
walking through life,
protected by your mantle and shadow
I feel myself more a son,
more a disciple, more a messenger,
lighter,
more full of joy,
more changed.
And on the way back, very happy
to tell you about my adventure
Florentino Ulibarri
