I stopped blogging because my blog was called Sabbatical Blog so once my Sabbatical was over it seemed incongruous to keep contributing to that legend! So I have changed the name though I hate to admit that the technicalities elude me. I needed Sarah's help (my lovely daughter) to make that change. However Pilgrim Pathway is how I feel about life. It is a constant journey of discovery.


I like the Celtic concept of pilgrimage - the discipline of - peregrinatio.



From this we get our word 'peripatetic.' It has the thought of 'wandering' but not aimlessly. It is the journey led by the Spirit; a pilgrimage of the heart.



An old Irish poem puts as follows:



To go to Rome



Is much trouble, little profit;



The King of Heaven, whom thou seekest there,



Unless thou bring Him with thee, thou wilt not find.
It is the journey I love and I don't travel alone.
