broke my prayer beads

I broke my prayer beads tonight. Or rather I broke the cross at the end of them. I made them at a point when words meant nothing, the only way I could pray was to hold them.

it's only a small thing really but I do feel bereft.

I have a set made for me by a friend who became a novice on Tuesday
that was a beautiful service, I di find it very hard I shall miss her dearly
now we have to explore a friendship within a differnt context
but not sure how strong the thread on the beads are.
I guess I have to use these until they fall apart as well.

prayer - until prayer falls appart

yes that sums me up at the moment
I do until I fall apart
I write an essay until I am literally banging my head then I figure I'd better stop for a bit.

I still have 3 essays, and the fourth part of one essay to do.
they must be done before the end of August!

then a month off - well off from essay writing - I just have some training for work to do as well as my full time job.

not really an idle pilgrim

certainly an exhausted pilgrim - perhaps I should change my name!
