WHAT IS SACRED
TRAVEL?
Be safe and well.
Peace, love and courage.
- Traditional Arabic farewell for those leaving on a
pilgrimage
For
millennia, the cry in the heart for embarking upon a
meaningful journey has been answered by pilgrimage, a
transformative journey to a sacred center.
It calls for a journey to a holy site associated
with gods, saints, or heroes, or to a natural setting
inbued with spiritual power, or to a revered temple to seek
counsel. To
people the world over, pilgrimage is a spiritual exercise,
an act of devotion to find a source of healing, or even to
perform a penance.
Always,
it is a journey of risk and renewal.
For a journey without challenge has no meaning; one
without purpose has no soul
"The object of pilgrimage is not rest
and recreation to get away from it all.
To set out on a pilgrimage is to throw down a
challenge to everyday life.
Nothing matters now but this adventure.
Travelers jostle each other to board the train [bus,
plane] where they crowd together for a journey that may
last several days.
After
that there is a stony road to climb on foot a rough,
wild path in a landscape where everything is new.
The naked glitter of the sacred mountain stirs the
imagination; the adventure of self-conquest has begun.
Specifics may differ, but the substance is always
the same.
- Excerpt from THE ART OF PILGRIMAGE,
Phil Cousineau, Conari Press, Berkeley, CA.1998
