This is my pilgrimage ...the challenge is made most difficult by the need to sleep...never enough time to absorb knowledge, experience the moment or understand suffering and joy...meditation,walking, music,gardening dancing art and drumming provide me with the profound glimpse of now...communion with my source.

Visiting some Holy places have been special, and also a "Pilgrimage" visiting with ordinary people all over Ireland, where one could notice God's finger, which added a special meaning to the encounters.

Because when you come to your goal you feel empty again, what shell you do then? That´s when you need to go on a new journey .. to find new mountain to climb ..to learn and gain a new insight :-) Jessica The most important is the journey, not to come to the goal I think.

Unfortunately we are not realizing that journey does not necerarily mean to travel across the globe but within our own universe as small as it might be. Sooner one realize it, the precious value of time ( years, days, hours, moments...) become obvious ! And then, as Paulo correctly said, we are ready to take risks and live Journey day after day like continuous magic moment in time ! Luce I do not think one should meditate long time about death to realize that life is journey to be lived at full.

Not only that but also uncertainty of the time of the death. I will definitely die and I may die today. Practitioners meditate for a long time until it is so firm in their mind that they never forget about that. Only then they can truly make progress on the spiritual path because it allows them to see how precious is their life and they take every moment of it as an opportunity for putting spiritual teachings into practice.
