“Pilgrim rules:
…
The Rule of Resonance: a smaller place with which we resonate is more important than a place of great pilgrimage.
The Rule of Correspondence: a place within a landscape corresponds to a place within the heart.
….”
“The number of quiet pilgrims is rising. Places are starting to move. On stones and in forests one comes across small offerings-a posy made from wheat, a feather in a bunch of heather, a circle from snail shells.”
Vaclav Cilek, from “Bees of the Invisible” Artesian journal, cited in R. Mcfarlane, The Road More Travelled The Guardian, 16.06.12
