Pilgrimage isn’t getting closer to God. He is already close As close as your breath. Pilgrimage is about slowing down, Sometimes walking Being inefficient and Unproductive. Pilgrimage is slowing down Enough To realize, To feel, To sense, God’s abiding presence within. He is there Patiently waiting for your Oh-so-important-busy Lives to calm Down enough to enjoy His indwelling!
