“The paradox: there can be no pilgrimage without a destination, but the destination is also not the real point of the endeavor. Not the destination, but the willingness to wander in pursuit characterizes pilgrimage. Willingness: to hear the tales along the way, to make the casual choices of travel, to acquiesce even to boredom. That's pilgrimage -- a mind full of journey.” WayMindRealChoicesJourneyPursuitTalesWanderBoredomParadoxDestinationWillingnessEndeavorCasualPilgrimage Book:Spillville: A Collaboration Source: Spillville: A Collaboration
“Ay me! for aught that I could ever read, Could ever hear by tale or history, The course of true love never did run smooth. But, either it was different in blood,- Or else it stood upon the choice of friends,- Or, if there were a sympathy in choice, War, death, or sickness did lay siege to it.” IfsDifferentWarRunningChoicesCoursesBloodLaysTalesSicknessSmoothSiege Book:The works of William Shakespeare Source: The works of William Shakespeare
