Day 40 -The Forty Day Realisation - April 22

As Liz reaches the fortieth day of her pilgrimage, she finds herself feeling a little flat. Her thoughts drift back to the early days, when she felt a deep sense of spiritual connection. But now, walking through the dry, dusty landscape, she wonders if the most powerful moments are already behind her.

Sitting quietly in the sun, she begins to understand that the pilgrimage isn’t just about those spiritual highs. It’s about embracing the whole journey—the full spectrum of experiences. The moments of stillness, doubt, beauty, and discomfort all have something to offer. This, she realises, is what pilgrimage truly is.

That is so true Liz and thank you for sharing this as it made me think of ‘the whole package ’
We have our good days and our not so good days and they all pass.
Love the image of the daffodils 🌼 all flowering.
There is a park in Aotearoa/ New Zealand in Christchurch called Hagley Park and to wander through there in Spring is glorious as the grounds by the river Avon are literally smothered in flowering daffodils 🌼

Nice reflection on your journey so far all the highs and lows, thank you for sharing 🙏

I think the pilgrimage is definitely a metaphor of life…..some days are hard or monotonous and some days are lovely and beautiful!🙏🏻❤️
