blessed is the broken self,
for she shall find rest.
for she shall find rest.
blessed is the one who rests,
for she will find self-love.
blessed are the ones who seek God,
for they will be held & upheld.

for in trusting they create kinship.

car ils laissent passer la lumière.
I read this in Estaing, just before Conques and some days after Le Puy, where one of the long Caminos start toward Santiago.
