Pilgrim of stillness,

 soft feather tips tread the sky,

journey towards light.

A message found in The Pilgrimage by Paul Coelho is that pathways to enlightenment are open to everyone.   Miracles such as beauty, love, generosity, and so on can be grasped and embodied by all. For me, the intricate beauty of bare tree branches against the sky is a winter miracle.
