We allowed ourselves to be somewhere new, not photographed in books or movies, not sought after or desired.<\/p>\n<p>We walked through a neighborhood quiet and still. Our feet walked over top of the trash that littered the sidewalk, cracked and overgrown with weeds. <\/p>\n<p>We walked not to pick up the trash or make an impact, not to save the neighborhood or another person.<\/p>\n<p>We walked in silence and solidarity, to let the experience sink into our individual souls. We walked to open our hearts, to let that garbage sink in. <\/p>\n<p>We walked to allow the questions to surface, the disappointment to surge, to blame others, to explore our feelings, thoughts, and beliefs. <\/p>\n<p>We walked to grapple eventually with the guilt that we do nothing but walk. <\/p>\n<p>We walked to struggle with the truth that resides in our souls, between our hearts and our minds. Knowing the only change that can be made is within, deep within. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the 1st Junior Retreat of the year we walked and I reflected&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":1745,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[1987,450,351],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20507"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20507"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20507\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1745"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20507"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20507"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20507"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
