I don’t know about you but sometimes the “what ifs” can stand in the way of moving forward.

“What if I get sick? What if I get injured? What if I have to take a taxi? What if it rains? What if I fall down?”

It doesn’t hurt to ask these questions. It is smart to listen and plan. And then set down the “what if something goes wrong?” And embrace the possibilities.

Going on pilgrimage is not about everything being perfect, but more about discovery. My friend David Mills and I came up with this definition for pilgrimage: “A journey of thoughtful intention with an unknown outcome”

If you have the “what ifs” (I believe we all do) I encourage you to talk to someone and try to set them down as best you can so you can enjoy the journey. (This works in life as well as pilgrimage).
