1. Pilgrim. from the Latin peregrinus, a wanderer, a traveler in foreign parts , a foreigner
2. Pilgrim ( from the latin peregrinus) is a traveler (Literally)one who has come from afar) who is on a journey to a holy place. Typically, this is a physical journeying (often on foot) to some place of special significance. In Spiritual literature, the concept of pilgrim and pilgrimage may refer to the experience of life in the world ( considered as a period of exile) or to the inner path of the spiritual aspirant from a state of Wretchedness to a state of beatitude.
Pilgrim? Yep that is pretty much me , my whole life. Never more than now and a specific pilgrimage sounds pretty good to me cause anything that will “aspirant” me from this current state of wretchedness is exactly what I welcome, But then most of us feel this way at some point in our lives many without even leaving home. We wake up one day and the whole world looks different, no real warning ,no easy explanation and we find ourselves strangers to our families , our spouses or our lovers , co-workers or our children, even ourselves. We are all of us on our own Pilgrimages , everyday. We are moving towards something, away from something in familiar surrounding as well as new
As for me I never needed to look very far, It has been there all along waiting for its own timing, waiting for me to let go so it could find a way back in.
