Wisdoms from the Journey - Vol V (May to Dec 2012) | Page 37

“ Pilgrims are poets who create by taking journeys .” ~ Richard R . Niebuhr
Of course , not everyone in the world will make it to Santiago , which is perfectly fine . Each one of us is walking a Pilgrimage with even greater transformative power — the Pilgrimage of Life . You certainly do not need to go to Spain to rediscover your True Self … You can do that anywhere .
And yet , there really is something to traditional pilgrimage ; there really are some places on this Earth that seem to assist one ’ s journey of Self-Discovery . Some of you might be interested in making the Camino a part of your own awakening ; some of you might hear It whispering on the wind ; calling you to come and go for walk …
To honor this interest ( and to honor the Camino itself ), I posted 499 images from my journey on Facebook , and then later released a Camino “ travel journal ” in pdf format to some Friends per email . It felt good to let folks “ walk with me ”, even though I had long-since returned … Recently I felt called to make the Camino available to everyone , so I ’ ve updated each entry — resized images , edited text and added some quotes , and the finished product is now online .
So , whether you plan on walking the Camino or not … enJOY the Trip ! http :// inspiringthealtruisticmoment . com / blog /? cat = 1265
“ Stripped of all its outer encrustations , spirituality emerges as a science , as scientific as any other , as verifiable in its results . Let any seeker take it up and let him create in the laboratory of the soul the conditions that are prerequisite ; and as sure as the day follows the night shall he rise into the Kingdom of God .” ~ Sant Kirpal Singh
