I think so.
June 26, 2000, I walked out of Lourdes France … in a Westerly direction … no agenda, no time table, a fuzzy destination(Fatima) and carrying my home on my back.(all my worldly possessions were in my back pack) I was compelled to walk across Spain to get there.

Gib … interesting choice of words … the word “thread”. Many threads are required to make a morsel of cloth. Had you used the word “OP” my response would be a simple … not worth a shit!
Since you opened the door … intentionally or otherwise … I’m happy to declare that my Fatima thread when considered in conjunction with all other threads I initiated or participated in during the same time period is really quite exciting … for me at least.

I consecrated my life to Our Lady of Fatima … the Virgin Mary … more than 20 years ago. I continue to respect my pledge … real or delusion … the Fatima thread echoes my dedication.
Some would say I’m in pretty good company.Today is the Feast Day of St John Paul II who also consecrated his life to the Virgin Mary as a young adult. Some people refer to him as the Philosopher Pope and his motto was … Totus Tuus (Totally yours)

IMHO … individually Western and Eastern religions have merit. Perhaps their’s potential for synergy if the two ever synthesize into one religion. In a million years maybe.
