Day 000a: Re-turning HOME … (09/08/2018)
Greetings, my dear Friends …
Well, after roughly 13 years of “getting ready” I am now fully & freely adopting the lifestyle of a Peace Pilgrim — abandoning my personal identification and past identities* and walking the Earth with but “the clothes on my back” — fasting until offered food, sleeping wherever offered shelter, sharing The Way of Peace** with anyone who asks, and selflessly serving everyone else in whatever way(s) I can …
I won’t be carrying a cell phone (I don’t own one) and won’t be using any money along the way. I also have no specific end-destination in mind, and no set time in which to “arrive” anywhere in particular, though at least in the beginning of the jaunt I will be walking on or near to any number of the Camino de Santiago tributaries that connect Stuttgart (Germany) with the NW coast of Spain. Thereafter, if & when I do make it to the Spanish coast, I plan to look for a ship-captain who will take me over the Atlantic Ocean to continue walking all the way to Chattanooga (Tennessee). That, at least, is my very loose plan. Of course, the saying “Make plans, God laughs” comes immediately to mind, so we’ll just have to wait & see how it all unfolds.
Other than that, I wish you all long & healthy lives filled with Meaning & Joy & Wonderment & LOVE … Take Care, my Friends — and remember to keep passing that Care along to others!
Scaughdt, out … Peace, in
*feel free to continue calling me Scaughdt (pronounced “scot”) if you wish
**a lifestyle which promotes the development of sharing-based self-sustainable communities, being intentionally Kind to those who “deserve it the least”, and actively respecting all sentient beings by living as a vegan
