Pilgrimage

 People on a spiritual path are on a pilgrimage.  They move from what they know to the unknown.  It takes courage.  You find a prayer life you like.  It is comfortable, but soon becomes too permanent.  We fear the unknown, but something encourages us to take up a change in our way of prayer.  The word, "Deeper" seems to attract us, though we may have doubts.  Courage.  God is at work.  The spiritual Tour Guide.  A person in recovery stays stuck at some comfort zone, some initial step out of the twelve.  Or no steps.  They simply enjoy the meeting, the warmth, acceptance, the coffee and treats.  They will soon drift backwards and out.  Pilgrimages have comfort zones, but not permanent housing.  Entering into prayer, is entering into your tent, not your castle.
