My heart was stolen by Conques and its pilgrims. I just returned from a month in France where I was hit squarely between the eyes with the concept of pilgrimage…never gave it any thought before.

I just got a book that will help me dive into shadow and welcome back all those fractured pieces that I've ignored. I've gotta stop running sometime... Have a great trip, Christine.

May you travel in an awakened way, Gathered wisely into your inner ground; That you may not waste the invitations Which wait along the way to transform you. May you travel safely, arrive refreshed, And live your time away to its fullest; Return home more enriched, and free To balance the gift of days which call you. As John O'Donohue wrote in his beautiful book "To Bless the Space Between Us":

. . . May you travel in an awakened way,
Gathered wisely into your inner ground;
That you may not waste the invitations
Which wait along the way to transform you.

May you travel safely, arrive refreshed,
And live your time away to its fullest;
Return home more enriched, and free
To balance the gift of days which call you.

I always enjoy the photos and writings of your journeys. You ask, "What is pulling on my soul?" -- I'm going to learn and practice Qigong, and am thrilled that finally my moku hanga woodblock now has a new, deeper direction. Blessings on your pilgrimage.
