If I knew the way, I would take you home. Wednesday, March 26, 2008. Assisi Day 2 - St. Francis still leading me. See my photos at. Http:/ www.flickr.com/photos/meganthemegan. A gorgeous warm (52F! Thats the warmest its been in quite awhile) morning with SUN, so after a good breakfast, I was off to a hike on Monte Subasio to see where Francis and his followers went for retreat. Most High, all-powerful, good Lord,. All praise is yours, all glory, all honor,and all blessing. All praise be yours, my Lord,.

anylengths: Last day in Siena
http://anylengths.blogspot.com/2008/03/last-day-in-siena.html
If I knew the way, I would take you home. Monday, March 24, 2008. Last day in Siena. See photos at http:/ www.flickr.com/photos/meganthemegan. I woke up with the doves cooing outside my window (well, they are actually pigeons, not doves, but Im in a blissfully altered state thanks to all that Ive seen - and pigeons are just doves that havent been loved enough - ah, jeez loueeze, stop me already! The sun was shining bright as could be and I went out for an early morning stroll off the beaten path. I retur...

anylengths: Assisi Day 3 - Church of San Damiano
http://anylengths.blogspot.com/2008/03/assisi-day-3-church-of-san-damiano.html
If I knew the way, I would take you home. Friday, March 28, 2008. Assisi Day 3 - Church of San Damiano. It is also the church where the his beloved St. Clare lived and established the order of the Poor Clares. It is also where Francis, in spite of a severe illness, wrote the Canticle of the Creatures. I love the San Damiano cross. When I meditate on it, it portrays a very "alive" Jesus, who looks out and says, "Yes, here I am, what are you going to make of your life? All highest, glorious God,.

anylengths: Assisi Day 3 - St. Clare
http://anylengths.blogspot.com/2008/03/assisi-day-3-st-clare.html
If I knew the way, I would take you home. Friday, March 28, 2008. Assisi Day 3 - St. Clare. This daughter of a very wealthy family in Assisi heard Francis preach and left her life of riches to follow his path. Hers was truly a path of peace and non-violence - when her cloister was under attack by the Saracens (known to be quite brutal), she greeted them with the Blessed Sacrament in its monstrance, and they turned away. It was as if Francis and Clare were saying, Pace e Bene, Megan. Your visit with u...

anylengths: It's half past Pisces
http://anylengths.blogspot.com/2008/03/its-half-past-pisces.html
If I knew the way, I would take you home. Sunday, March 30, 2008. It's half past Pisces. My last day and evening in Italy.sigh.what an amazing journey this has been. I started out walking to the dock where I will catch my Alilaguna water taxi to the airport tomorrow, and, after Mass at a small neighborhood church, decided to spend most of the morning on the water hopping on and off vaporettos along the Grand Canal. Then a meandering stroll back to my room. Then the final packing of my suitcase (which...

anylengths: Oak Tree at San Damiano
http://anylengths.blogspot.com/2011/08/oak-tree-at-san-damiano.html
If I knew the way, I would take you home. Tuesday, August 09, 2011. Oak Tree at San Damiano. I begin each retreat here looking up at you,. Watching sunlight dance between your leaves,. Listening to the wind love you. My gentle, strong, dear friend and witness to my journey –. My delight in dreams of Assisi which came true,. My grief at mistletoe kisses that proved false,. My fear when Dr. Alzheimer left his calling card,. My growing trust in all sunrises and sunsets. Throughout our intertwined history,.

anylengths: Assisi Day 3 - Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli
http://anylengths.blogspot.com/2008/03/assisi-day-3-basilica-of-santa-maria.html
If I knew the way, I would take you home. Friday, March 28, 2008. Assisi Day 3 - Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli. The tiny church of the Porziuncola, which is considered the cradle of the Franciscan movement (the Benedictines wanted to give it to Francis - he accepted it only if he could pay yearly rent with a basket of fish) is now surrounded by a huge church (I wonder what Francis or Clare would think about that). I also saw his statue in this garden where a family of doves makes their home.
