“Do not be afraid … for I am bringing Good News of great Joy … for everyone.” ~ Jesus Christ (Luke 2:10) I guess it’s fair to state that – despite the many profound epiphanies with which I was showered in the early stages of the Pilgrimage – I was anything but “enlightened” at this […]
That afternoon, as I walked on immersed in the deep Calm of thankfulness, I thought about the “things” I had brought with me — as well as those I had purposefully left behind. Even then – even after only walking for three days, I knew that the majority of the items in my small hemp […]
“After saying farewell to them, he went up on the mountain to pray.” ~ Mark 6:46 What a fitting verse for this day – I had indeed said farewell to quite a few beings, though all of them had been residing within me. After last evening’s extreme crisis of faith, I had said farewell to […]
Inspired by the epiphanies I had experienced earlier in the afternoon, I was now blessed with yet another: the overwhelming realization that my Pilgrimage was not only a potent venue of selfless service for those folks I met along the way, but was also an act of penance for my recent past – an opportunity […]

On through the early morning I trudged, and it was getting really, really cold. Respite for me came in the form of an establishment that was to “save me” on a number of occasions in the near future: a U.S. Post Office. This one was a cute little number in Resaca, Georgia, and yet it […]

“You seek a great fortune, and you will find a great fortune – though it will not be the fortune that you seek. But first you must travel a long & difficult road; a road fraught with peril … I cannot tell you how long this road shall be, but fear not the obstacles in […]
“And this is eternal life: to know you, the ONE, and the Christ whom You sent to reside within us. I glorify You on Earth by engaging the Work that You have enabled me to fulfill.” ~ Jesus Christ (John 17:3-4) Having renewed my resolve to become a more pure messenger of the selfless Way, […]
“Love cannot be found … as we cannot find what we already possess. Love cannot be created … as we cannot create that from which all is born.” ~ anonymous Sleep deprivation will have you doing funny things – like weaving while you walk or talking to yourself. Suffering from hunger and sleep deprivation at […]
“I have given you as a Covenant to the people … To open eyes that are blind, to release the prisoners from their dungeon – from the prison those who sit in darkness … See, former things have come to pass, and new things I now declare.” ~ Isaiah 42:6-9 So, back to our story […]
