Pilgrimage book Thought...
Welcome to Everybody...has a story running, book reading. Unfortunately, due to chrome & Zoom not being able to be accessed by my computer I have put together some thoughts regarding Walking/running & Pilgrimage. Why we may go on a pilgrimage or run/walk & the significance of this with regards to the Journey we are on individually & the greater significance of this Journey....
Some quotes from the the book 'Pilgrimage' by Peter Stanford
Everybody...has a story running
This book has many pilgrimages to read about & to choose which one to venture into.
It has history & also philosophy to look into & learn from.
For me, it has been interesting in Christianity, how many people who put CofE as a belief, really know what we are supposed to? The Nicean creed & why/how this came about? Who you honour & why?
& how you can help make the world we live in a much more beautiful place to be?
I have read about other cultures & just as Beautiful, if understood & not taken advantage of with different interpretations for self & not the greater good. With this, science helps to understand both the smaller part & bigger part of a whole picture & with this health.
For me, as a runner my Journey has changed. Once trying to get faster times racing against myself & while doing that against others in a race setting to improve while avoiding injury. A Pilgrimage of sorts.
Now, I enjoy the environment I am running in, the country side & the changes in nature with the creation in mind. Through my running health shoe shop in Tenterden, by helping others look after their health with the first step or one of many already taken on their Journey, with suitable running shoes to avoid injury...

Peace & Light....
I hope to encourage a lot more people to walk or run & to find their own journey. What might appear to be an interest in health or to loose weight, may one day be known in it's full entirety. The over eating in search of fulfillment replaced by the bread of or word of God, where this originates from & how our choices caring for ourselves, each other & for our environment, can represent the richness of the forgotten true meaning of why we should look after the gift we have been given in the creation.
The significance of triathlon tattoo as a mark of a journey was once as early as the sixth century, a Christian writer & teacher, based at a celebrated school of religious thinkers at a significant place relevant today. Passing Pilgrims on route & sporting small crosses tattooed on their wrist as a record of their visit.
Along the way to these places a personal journey to the destination, which once apparently finished continues & hopefully with lessons learned.
Other pilgrimages are more Peaceful throughout time without disturbances & longed for by most.
The Journey along pilgrimage trails or running & walking often includes some sort of healing process for physical or mental
well being, be it individual or collective, to find what your Journey means, first we have to take the first step...
Farther afield....
As a Christian I would rather not comment on all Pilgrimages on my website as I know from experience that people of certain beliefs can take offence to an opinion of their sacred Journey. The Quran is expected to be placed above all books on a shelf with tolerance & patience for those who do not realise this.
