"The Pilgrimage"


Today is the day that I have decided to really dive into my Anamcara prep. It took awhile to get things organized....bit by bit...but now I've "got my bags packed". Just finished my readings for today...the lesson for today is below :

The Pilgrim Way

To Journey without being changed is to be a nomad.
To change without a journey is to be a chameleon.
To journey and be transformed by the journey
Is to be a Pilgrim.

It begins with a whisper....

DailyOM... The whisper that reassures us everything is okay delivers its message with quiet confidence. Once we hear it, we know it speaks the truth.

I have been waiting for some monumental moment or overwhelming urge to write my first post in this my second, and newest, blog. Notta. The above quote, from DailyOM, made me wonder if just being quiet and waiting for a whisper would be a better approach. And so I write tonite....was on the back porch alone, beer in hand, really being just mindful of the evening...and I felt the nudge, the whisper, to write.
I have nothing to say really...except to ackowledge and thank Myles and to welcome Nikolai, who has been to this point an enigma to me. I have been told that Nikolai will be with me for the next two years, which just so happens to coincide with my Anamcara apprenticeship.
It feels like this is enough to say for now.
