Beautiful days do not come to you. You must walk towards them. Rumi
A pilgrimage is the travel of a pilgrim. One of Webster's definitions of a pilgrim is one who travels to a holy site. That feels exactly right for me. Life is a pilgrimage. Traveling to become my best self. feels a lot like holy work. Don't we want to be the best souls we can be and pick up wisdom and kindness along the way? That is what I want. I want to learn, offer kindness and become a better person step by step.
I start by moving forward with what I have: Gratitude and Intention. I'll find the rest as I go and change direction if I need be.
The point of a pilgrimage is moving forward while paying attention. Not, contemplation, writing, and philosophizing but the action of putting one foot in front of the other to find out what is up ahead that can't be seen from where I am today. That sounds a lot like hope. That sounds a lot like Grit and Grace.
Movin on....
