The art of the pilgrimage
The researcher’s guide to make trips sacred
By: Phil Cousineau
The art of the pilgrimage Concerns the pure and simple art of the trip, that your trip takes you on a long adventure through foreign countries, a religious site or in a famous serious stone, whatever your destination, the truth is that the journey is just as interior as the world. At the beginning, I must admit that I was leading to disappointment when I started reading for the first time The art of the pilgrimageAs it was not the least what I thought would be. I thought it was a traditional travel account on the pilgrimage of this man, but although this is the case, this is only an underlying current in the book. But after overcoming my spoiled expectations, I achieved the real potential of the book.
“Do not be satisfied with the stories that present you, unfold your own myth.” ~ Mystical Sufi Mevlana Rumi
Phil Cousineau takes you all over the world, presenting you to other travelers who have put themselves on the pilgrimage, and weaves their stories with his poetic story and citing to guide you in the various steps that you can take to make the trip sacred. His guide inspires you to open your mind, your heart and your soul for your trip and gives you advice and ideas to help you create travel experiences and the most memorable memories that will last a life and really enrich your life.
“If we really want to know the secret of moving journeys, we must believe that there is something sacred that is waiting to be discovered in almost all travel.”
I ended up falling in love with this book, I felt like I needed to read it – as it was the fate that I had stumbled on it in a small second -hand bookstore on the Seattle Pike market – especially for my next solo adventure next spring. It taught me that if I prepare before my trip to be aware and attentive to my mood, my environment, my environment, my environment and my life in general in everyday life, I can better exploit this power while traveling and getting the most out of the trip, and I hope to help me be a better writer.
Whether you are a life traveler or at first, a researcher of inspiration or simply try to enrich your life, so The art of the pilgrimage will entertain you with a world of knowledge and delight your senses.
