Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
-Psalm 84:5
As much as I focus on my spiritual journey, I have a somatic need to manifest it in physical ways.
In other words, I gotta move. Physical disciplines like soccer, yoga, and jiu-jitsu enact my pilgrimage inside my body. Roadtrips and adventures are demonstrations of my desire to move forward from where I am to a better place. Riding bikes and simple races and games with my sons bring the Holy Spirit to the surface of my skin.
The pilgrimage is within and without.
