"In each of us dwells a wanderer, a gypsy, a pilgrim. The purpose here is to call forth that spirit. What matters most on your journey is how deeply you see, how attentively you hear, how richly the encounters are felt in your heart and soul."
This is from the book
The Art of Pilgrimage: The Seeker's Guide to Making Travel Sacred. Different words from this quote touch me in different ways as I plan for my upcoming visit to Liberia. Five of us will prepare, travel together, listen, learn, experience, and return. I don't know how this relationship-building trip will change me, but I expect to be changed just as pilgrims have been changed by encounters with the holy over the ages.
