And so the Journey continues – a different path through a different land, and yet both towards & upon the same HOME still … “As much as I would like to clearly know my path, a larger part of me is saying that it is better not too know too many details about its end […]
I hadn’t walked but a handful of minutes before glancing serendipitously across the street and seeing the message shown below – a message that to many would portend a calamitous end to my efforts, and yet to me foretold the immovable Success that graces every wiling & joyful sacrifice … “The world is glowing lovelier, […]
It was odd to be walking towards Canada at the start (apparently the only bridge that would allow me to leave Long Island by foot was the George Washington, located some 17 miles to the north), and yet I easily fell into an almost lazy loping gait – one that matched both the easy thoughts […]
And then I arrived at the Brooklyn Bridge, and traipsed across its spans with joy & ease … “The best bike is the one you’re already on. The best road is the one you’re already traveling. The best destination is the one to which you’re already headed. The best time to get there is whenever […]
I was admittedly surprised by how much I truly loved New York City. It is no small understatement to say that I am not a fan of metropolises by any means, and yet there was something about New York that captured me – maybe it was the underlying hum of Community that radiated from its […]
Interestingly enough, the very first church I encountered along the American portion of my Trek was one dedicated to Paul (St. Paul’s Chapel, located just a few blocks from the September 11th Memorial) – Paul, who was and still is my personal theological nemesis, and Paul, who was indeed the primary spiritual enemy of Jesus […]

And onward I walked that day, with the undulating peace of the Hudson River on my left, and the pulsing Souls of millions of my fellow brothers & sisters on my right … “Pilgrimage is rebellion in its purest form. It follows the heart, it frees us of all labels, it loses control willingly, it […]
“What the people of our world need is a new war – a war against Hypocrisy, a war against Callousness, a war against Violence, a war against Greed. And once this far greater war is duly & sincerely waged by the many, all wars smaller & deadlier will no longer be fought by & for […]
“Sometimes I think we live in a gap between two worlds, one world that we are commanded to embody, and the other we are told never to enter. The first world is the world where we must be adherent of the rules and follow all norms and obey the authorities and live in places & […]
“We pilgrims are lone rangers, that’s what we are. We see the world with our naked eyes, unabashed of all greed and ego. Our Souls reside on our tongues and we ever stand for what’s Right by walking proudly amongst the wrong. We rave for justice and inspiring humanity’s greatest possibilities is our aim. We […]
