Dear Reader,
Pilgrimage: a journey or search of moral or spiritual significance. Typically, it’s a journey to a shrine or other location of importance to a person's beliefs and faith, although sometimes it can be a metaphorical journey into someone's own beliefs.
The word pilgrimage popped into my mind the other day and it stayed with me throughout the day. So I decided to set out on my own writing pilgrimage and put my thoughts down on paper...
I’d rather live a life where I feel a little uncertain and things are a bit clumsy along the way. Orderliness commands too much energy for the return. Do what you can with what you’ve got. When you set out on the journey Suzanne, even though you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll probably learn a lot along the way.
There doesn’t always have to be a purpose. You can just begin, put one foot in front of the other and see what happens. Confusion can be a peaceful state of mind--for a while. Sometimes I find myself in the middle of a thing, I’m certain I don’t have a clue about why I signed up for the experience, but then later I realize that I really do know the reason, I’m just not ready to face it yet.
Perhaps it’s time to take a little walk? Perhaps it’s time to set out on a pilgrimage?
Thanks for reading with me. It’s so good to read with friends.
Suzanne Beecher
