"Don't be fooled into thinking you are supposed to arrive at a destination. It is the going that is central, the you that is going. Your pilgrimage is really about yourself observing your own transit across the landscape."~ Richard Leviton, "Designing Your Pilgrimage"
Writing is also an act of pilgrimage.
We set out on a journey, often intent on a particular direction and destination. Yet if we're true to our art and to our heart, we free the story to carry us where it will.
The resulting journey is one that reveals not only the story we're writing but the one we're living.
When we listen for the stories that move through us, we also discover the story that is us.
How has your writing been a pilgrimage? What has it taught you -- about yourself, about your work, about the world?
