I rose early once again after yet another sound (yet sweaty) sleep and breakfasted quietly by myself while waiting for my pilgrim compatriots to awaken. They did so in relatively short order and I shared a jovial second breakfast with them, though this one is more a respect-filled ritual than a relished repast … 😉 … Then we all packed up our belongings and tidied up the place a bit before heading together back outside – onto the Road and into the mist.

“When we draw from the deepest fissures inside us, we become a fresh breeze that lifts the souls of other people. You are the restorative wind in my soul. Late at night, in the underwater current of dreams, I hear your voice whispering to me, a voice of kindness and wisdom beseeching me to become the fullest expression of who I am capable of being. My goal is to become like you: a synthesis of all the good in the world, a person who encircles the rocky strewn bank of human existence and embraces it with a loving and a gentle heart, a person who recognizes the value of living free from anxiety and want, who lives gracefully without desire and attachment.” ~ Kilroy Oldster
