St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church

Imagine for me that you have before you, not
A road, but a series of forking paths.
Most of the time we aren’t aware of the way
We take these paths,
And a good portion of our spiritual geography has already been mapped for us.

What if we had lived in another part of the country,
In a different neighborhood?
What if we had gone to boarding school,
Or taken a pilgrimage to a poor country.

What if we had chosen to become a locksmith or a welder
Rather than the law. (We might make more money).
Or if we had chosen a different partner?
