Every saunter can be a ceremony; every ramble, a ritual. The place becomes holy ground, a pray full place; reverence and respectful reciprocity is the response to the particularities. From here, we move to gratitude.

It is a simple discipline to look around that which constitutes our lives—food on plates, walls that shelter sleep—and acknowledge that someone built our house (I am grateful), a farmer grew my food (I am thankful), etc. Very soon after we begin this recognition of receipt, our awareness shifts and grows to include even more gifts and blessings that come from the various relationships in our lives.

Further reflection allows even this broadening circle of thanksgiving to expand to include the natural world; we contemplate the air we breath as a gift of the trees and the water we drink as provided by rainfall and glacial streams. We arrive here on this magnificent gift of a planet and everything is given to us. The ground we stand on, the sustenance in our bellies, the clothes on our back—these are all gifts that are the result of sacrifices on the part of our greater home, the Universe.

Mathematical cosmologist, Brian Swimme, talks about that from out of the numinous spark that began all of life—the fireball, stars, extinct species, Sun, Earth, animals, plants, and other humans—have been given the gifts that were needed and are needed for our lives. For all of this, give thanks this day.

Favorite kind of sabbath: seated by the fire pit and deepening into the wisdom of the pilgrimage road. What’s sparking a’fresh today is how the pilgrimage journey reconnects one to an indigenous worldview—one where the secular and sacred are intertwined and interrelated. We are in deep need of practices within the Western world that reconnect us to this fundamental and sacramental reality! If you have an opportunity to engage the ancient practice of pilgrimage, do it! It’s essential now more than ever as it reawakens a truth that is deadened by the modern and western world.

My friend, a pilgrimage is a journey into the unknown, where you’re searching for new meaning about yourself and your place in the world. 🌎

I wrote this prayer while walking The Camino in Spain....

Dear God,
You are more faithful to me than I am to myself.
You are a unique mystery—constant and unchanging.
Stay close to my heart and keep watch over today.
Amen
