“To journey without being changed is to be a nomad. To change without journeying is to be a chameleon. To journey and be transformed by the journey is to be a pilgrim”. ~ Mark Nepo
How do you journey?
To journey…
Experiment
The Sabbath is the day to experiment with beauty that teases your hunger to know more glory. ~ Dan B. Allender

Be a trout
“Be a trout instead,” I said. “Endeavor to go upstream into the tributaries and find clear, pure waters. Create upstream, and then what you create will affect the whole stream.” ~ Makoto Fujimura
Do you travel upstream?
Catching fire
As kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame;
As tumbled over rim in roundy wells
Stones ring; like each tucked string tells, each hung bell’s
Bow swung finds tongue to fling out broad its name;
Each mortal thing does one thing and the same: … ~ Gerard Manley Hopkins
What did you come for?
Real movement
It may be that when we no longer know what to do
we have come to our real work,
and that when we no longer know which way to go
we have come to our real journey.
The mind that is not baffled is not employed.
The impeded stream is the one that sings. ~ Wendell Berry
What does this require of you?
At home
Sometimes we are at home with ourselves. Sometimes we are not. When we are in a space of deep peace and spiritual groundedness our actions flow without effort. No matter the chaos around us. We know when we are living from that space. We can tell.
What happens when we engage all our work from that at-home-ness?
