Pilgrimage

we leave today
or possibly tomorrow
for extended
walkabout

we don’t have a plan
beyond this week

this will be a lesson
in taking each day
as it comes
as it goes

this will be a lesson
in opening awareness
to serendipity
to co-incidence
to mindfulness of
each moment

we may take a vow of silence…
