Life is not only a pilgrimage, as Thakar says, life is the only pilgrimage. Life is a flow moving as us, and our pilgrimage is to go with life, not fight it or try to control it. Life is God, so life in all its manifestations is sacred. In my view, we go with the flow and live the pilgrimage to some extent, though far from fully or totally. For a long time I resisted and fragmented life in trying to manage it and eventually became aware of the futility in that and became just a little more into receptivity and wholeness of living and of the pilgrimage, which is much more satisfying than trying to dictate the pilgrimage. Every little bit of my letting go of goals and destination of my creation and going with the pilgrimage that is life cultivates openness and eagerness to discover more sacred steps that unfold.
