Pilgrimage Everyday

We call our blog and newsletter “Pilgrimage Everyday” in honor of our favorite discussion between Paulo Coelho and Krista Tippet. We’ve listened to their conversation many times on our travels, and it always delights us:

And I also do believe that we have this possibility of doing a pilgrimage every single day. Because a pilgrimage implies in meeting different people, in talking to strangers, in paying attention to the omens, and basically being open to life. And, we leave our home to go to work, to go to school, and we have every single day this possibility, this chance of discovering something new. So, the pilgrimage is not for the privileged one who can go to Spain and to France, and walk this 500 miles, but to people who are open to life. A pilgrimage, at the end of the day, is basically get rid of things that you are using, and try something new.
