On the road,
even before one is on the physical road.
On the way,
even when the way isn’t clear.
Moving towards
something.
Something else.
Or is the purpose of going away
to come home?
Is the best preparation
attentively being here?
My commitment
wants to do something.
To demonstrate its sincerity
by working hard.
Of course, it will help
to train my body and spirit.
Of course, thoughtful consideration
will make a way for wise action.
Of course, listening to those who have gone before
will orient me.
If each day is a part of my pilgrimage,
what am I receiving?
What am I learning?
What am I becoming?
Pilgrim, be here.
In time, you will be there.
