[QUOTE="David Tallan, post: 692522, member: 31995"] A monk, a hermit, and a friar sit down in a bar and talk about how to get closer to God. "You have to be away from everyone else, living in complete solitude," says the hermit. "Only then will you have created the space for an encounter with the Divine." "No, no," replies the monk. "Away from everyone else you will just go crazy. You need the support of a community of like minded individuals. It is through prayer in community that you will encounter the Divine." "You are both wrong!", the friar responded. "You need to be out there in the world, with your fellow humans, doing the Lord's work. It is through good deeds and encounters with His children that you will encounter the Divine." I guess my point is that we all have a tendency to take what works for us and think it is the only way to success. I have seen people who have been walking the Camino with family have deeply spiritual and transformative journeys that I would certainly call "pilgrimages". And I've seen people who set off alone do the same (whether or not they ended up that way). And I've seen people who set off on their own on what looks to me like a walking holiday. I've seen the transformation come from a deep journey within and I've seen it come from encounters with others. I'm not ready to say only one way is a "real pilgrimage". [/QUOTE]
