Day 073u: What it means to Walk … (June 26, 2019)

For real Love to truly live our Circle of Compassion must be repeatedly de-bordered, and this is why it is per se beneficial to walk in pilgrimage. For pilgrimage – especially those walks taken in lands strange or foreign – is by its very nature a forced widening of our horizons; both literally (i.e. the places we go and see) as well as figuratively (i.e. the people and the ideas we encounter). This is why pilgrimage is so potent. It serves as a profound correction of our perspective and as such offers a fresh start to our living (lest we find ourselves sinking into the pitfalls of the plain and the normal; swallowed up in the miasma of habits and trifles). Indeed, the benefits of such a Will Walk and the far view it constantly provides will keep us, in both body and soul, more fully fit and sound, with the only practice as adept at the same being acts of caring kindness given boldly to strangers or anonymously to friends.” ~ inspired by Will Grant
