“Your life is shaped by the ends for which you choose to live. You are nothing less than the re-made image of what you desire. As such, to harmonize your life you must harmonize your desires. To harmonize your desires you must spiritualize your desires. To spiritualize your desires you must radically reorient your desires […]
It may not look like much to most, but those who have ever suffered from hip-flexor tears & groin pulls know that this staircase proved to be no small obstacle. Fortunately, time was not of the essence, and I was easily afforded the 10+ minutes it took me to step-by-step-by-step make it all the way […]
The walk is pretty painful and rather slow-flowing today as I finally make it to the top of the small mountain ridge overlooking the city of Lausanne. I amble through a lovely park and stop in at the Lac Sauvabellin café, where a sparkling carafe of delicious water is offered by the friendly wait-staff there. […]
The walk down into Lausanne was as smooth and fluid as the walking beforehand had been stilted and arduous … 🙂 “I am a flesh & bone facet of the Greater Divine — journeying through every moment of my life towards a full & wholehearted remembering of the same.” ~ anonymous
The Cathedral in Lausanne was truly one of the more beautiful I experienced on the entire Walk … 🙂 “Death is a natural part of life, and can become rather Meaning-full if approached appropriately — remembering that we are here to give our lives joyfully for others, and knowing that those who pass before us […]
I had arrived into Lausanne — my destination for the day — much earlier than anticipated, and had some “time to kill” (Isn’t “Time to Live” is a far more apt saying?) so I left the church and walked around the surrounding city streets, looking for a place to sit and rest and write and […]
This was actually an unusually special day, for the simple reason that it was the only day during the entirety of my walk across Europe that I knew before setting out that I had a bed to sleep on that same night. You see, back in Lucens a few days previous — when I was […]
I wake up at 7am after a nice night’s sleep and slam a hasty breakfast and offer a cursory goodbye to Clara as she is late for work. David then accompanies me on the first few hundred yards of the day’s walk (to spend a bit more time together, and make sure that I set […]
I make it to the shores of Lake Geneva without incident and found the Camino running fluidly alongside of it just as foretold. It was a calm, sunny day that morning and I sauntered with ease along a well-paved bike path — smiling at the folks I passed along the way, and soaking up the […]
I steadily strolled along the lakeside, in more than a bit of physical discomfort and yet still filled with peace and joy — alongside a wholehearted resolve to continue walking this pilgrimage until I reached its stated conclusion, and this no matter the dangers or dis-eases that would in all probability continue to afflict me […]
I’m not at all what folks would call a “religious person.” Indeed, I am actually avidly opposed to all forms of organized religion; believing them to be obstacles to intra-spiritual awareness and hindrances to inter-communal harmony (with discussions about the reasoning underlying these opinions being better left for another day) … That having been said, […]
