Note For The Road

A prayer.

This prayer was given to me by a fellow peregrino, ‘pilgrim’ on my walk along the Camino de Santiago in 2015.

He sang it to me, line by line in Spanish and patiently listened as I repeated the lines back.

We walked in prayer until I could sing it on my own.

I revisit this prayer often as a walking meditation in times of need.

Let nothing disturb you

let nothing frighten you

All things pass away.

God never changes.

Patience obtains all things

He who has God

finds he lacks nothing

God alone suffices.

-Teresa of Ávila

There’s a beautiful musical version you can sing along with: Nada te Turbe by Taizé.

I hope it serves to offer you solace in difficult or stressful times.

With Deep Love + Reverence,

Billy
