Pilgrimage in a world of seekers

• “Not I -- or anyone else, can travel that road for you. You must travel it yourself.”

• Walt Whitman

• “The traveler, the pilgrim, cannot find deep meaning in their journey until they encounter what is truly sacred.” – Phil Cousineau

When we no longer know where to turn the journey has just begun (Phil Cousineau)

THE SEARCH IS WHAT ANYONE WOULD UNDERTAKE IF HE WERE NOT SUNK IN THE EVERYDAYNESS OF HIS OR HER OWN LIFE … TO BECOME AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THE SEARCH IS TO BE ON TO SOMETHING. NOT TO BE ON TO SOMETHING IS TO BE IN DESPAIR. (WALKER PERCY “THE MOVIEGOER”)
