Reflections

“Don’t take anything for the journey.”A suitcase company has for its trademark “Travel Lite”, found on its suitcases. The company simply wants to convey that using its suitcases we can  tra- vel (very) lightly, while having plenty of stuff inside and with- out having to pull hard. Indeed, the suitcases—with their four wheels and very light material, but durable—are reliable and can help travelling overseas more comfortable.Our journey through life can also be light with all its ups and downs, with all its burden and difficulties. We can still Travel Lite in our daily life, enjoying and living life to the full. To Travel Lite could mean being critically aware of the things that are ne- cessary and essential. It means discarding the things that do not contribute to our general well-being and  good.  It means being able to go through life in a relaxed, calm manner. It means being able to forgive others— and also our selves. To Travel Lite means to let go of resentments, chronic frustrations, mistakes and failures, rising above them. It means travelling with Jesus who said: “My yoke is easy and my burden light.” With Jesus, we can Travel Lite.
