The Journey Matters II

The piligrimage journey to Iona changed all of our lives. For ten days we lived in a closer relationship with one another and with God than any of us experienced before. We reflected on the presence of God in our day, in the moments of beauty, justice, and creation, in the moments of friendship and discovery. Rather than an abrupt awakening or conversion, the change was subtle, gentle, bringing forth the seed God had already planted there. The lyrics of this song we learned at Iona captures this emerging life, "God has chosen me, God has chosen me, and planted a seed, he knows that I need. Its fruit shall be joy."
