Does one actually need to travel to a sacred site to experience a transformative pilgrimage?
A. No. Whatever and whoever is worthy of your reverence, respect and admiration can provide an opportunity and vehicle for a transformative experience. For example, I once made a pilgrimage to Mark Twain’s home in Hannibal, Missouri, because I wanted to honor him as the first author in my boyhood who inspired me to become a writer. When you take it seriously, any spiritual or secular pilgrimage can evoke awe and wonder within. For more information visit www.PhilCousineau.net.
