A pew in Lisbon, a pew in Oslo

Caldas da Rainha

The same silence, rephrased

On the road we have learned to find the chapel before we find the campsite. The hour of prayer comes first; everything else arranges itself behind it.

In Porto the light came down through azulejos. In Tallinn it came down through plain glass and Baltic gravity. The same silence, rephrased.

The pew is the truest map I have ever read.

THE VERSE THIS POST RESTS UPON

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”

— Psalm 23:1
