Pilgrim Ways by David Alton Stand at the crossroads and look, Ask for the ancient paths, Ask where the good way is, And walk upon it, And you will find rest for your souls. (Jeremiah 6:16) Dedication: To my late mother and father and to all who have passed this way before; and for my children, Marianne, Padraig, Philip and James, as they undertake their own pilgrim‟s progress.
