Nunraw Guest welcomed Fr. Stephen from Colorado.
He began his Pilgrimage at Wick at the North of Scotland cycling on the Way of St. James, Santiago de Compostela.
He makes his Station at Nunraw Abbey overnight.
He offered his Mass , concelebrating with the community.
With an early start off he was to stop in Newcastle.
We feel in spirit with Fr. Stephen's pilgrimage all the way ...

It may be of interest to note that both Miguel de Cervantes and William
Shakespeare died on the same day, April 23, 1616. Two of the most
well-known, talented authors from those medieval years to die the same day is a
coincidence that most authors would not dream of!

The Don may have dreamed the impossible dream and tilted into windmills,
but he was nobody’s fool. This is what he has to say on the delicate subject of
self-satisfied authors’ bias: “It is natural to fathers and mothers not to
think their own children ugly; and this error is nowhere so common as in the
offspring of the mind.”

I was about nine or ten when my mother used the expression “tilting at
windmills” in conversation. Then she asked me if I knew where the phrase came
from. I replied proudly, “Yes, it’s from Don Quixote!”
Alas, I was unaware that Spanish assigns different pronunciations to
letters than English does. I pronounced the Don’s name as “QUIX-oat”.
My mother had minored in Spanish in university and worked for the
Children’s Aid Society in Spanish Harlem. She started laughing and told me that
I made the Don sound like breakfast cereal. I suppose she thought this was funny,
but I was embarrassed and angry.
Four decades later, my feelings have been somewhat assuaged by the
alternate pronunciation you offered: KWIK-suht. I wasn’t far off after all.

Great theme this week. Earlier this year I read the entire 940 pages of
Don Quixote. Just an amazing literary work. But I also think that there is a
broad misconception about this wonderful character. The best description of who
Don Quixote really was comes from his own words which I copied while reading
the book:
“When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps
to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams -- this may be madness; and
madness of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be.”
