Unlike the pilgrims, the sunflowers have turned their vibrant faces toward the sun, mirroring our own devotion to our route and destiny. If sunflowers would go on a pilgrimage, I am convinced they would all walk towards the east to the rising sun they admire.
Lovely morning reflections in praise of sunflowers, Van Gogh, newfound friends, coffee and gratitude for our extraordinary Earth in its fragile but inspiring state.
These magnificent images would undoubtedly spur on even the weariest pilgrim nursing painful blisters and they do.
Pondering the steps made over the centuries of the many who’ve made this historic pilgrimage, it’s worth remembering how the planet has changed over those many years. Foresight and hindsight. If only those of so many years past could have foreseen the harm future generations would bring to our only home, could they have made a difference?
Continue your odyssey in good health and spirit and enjoy Leon.
Just waking to see you’ve indeed taken the train to take off three days of walking 🚶♀️ and reroute to the sea. You recognize how different our paths will be in coming years assuming we survive these climate disasters. You write beautiful words to document what is and will be what was. I am excited to see the sea 🌊. Your blisters likely appreciate the rest as you ride the train, we are with you, as always. 🥹 Hoping to see a book resulting from these writings, carry on soldier, our muse! 😊
Each day is a remembrance of what we left, the reality of what we have, and the vision of what we need. We imprint the moment, being the moment, living the moment, sharing the moment.

Be always present.
So happy I woke to this delightful accounting. A somber nod. A sleepy smile. Good journey 🌻
