I have arrived safely at my final destination. (If you're unfamiliar with Taize, check out taize.org)
I was welcomed with a warm, simple meal and the company of people from different parts of the world (albeit, most people come from Germany or The Netherlands).
We gather for prayer 3 times a day, and in between we share meals, conversation and reflections on Bible passages as well as our own faith journeys.
Thus far, my impression is a positive one.
At times it seems like summer camp.
At times it seems like home.
I am taken by and thankful for the opportunity to gather so often in prayer, and I am inspired by the form in which it is carried out.
One of the brothers here said that he came to Taize many years ago searching for answers, and he ended up with even more questions. Of course, this seems to be the natural progression of a spiritual journey and I am thankful to be at this point on the road.
The dialogue that exists between us is what seems to keep us moving forward.
Many blessings!
