It was that holy traveller, Jack Kerouac, who first coined the phrase "the holy contour of life" and I think that this provides a fitting title for these reflections. We don't need a whole lot of knowledge or material possessions to lead a good and happy life. We are all of us on the same journey and all heading in the same direction. We need to recognise our fellow-travellers and try to enjoy their company. Life is a journey but its destination is spiritual not temporal. It is a process of self-discovery which requires us each to recognise their own personal destiny.
