The Way knows... thank you for this one. I needed the reminder, and loved especially that it brought me back to August 2023 and a beautiful week of pilgrimage retreat on Iona, Scotland. Mary DeJong, founder of Waymakers, led the retreat and taught us that song. We sang it every morning! I'm breathing again... bless you for this daily life Raft, Phyllis. ❤️
