I have to apologize to all those folks who came to the site to hear about my travels and there was no news. Turkey proved waaaay too difficult to negotiate the internet in all the various cities we were visiting, at the pace we were going and all the activities we were fitting in daily. You'll have to wait to read about the sites and sensations as they are slowly integrated into my life and words.
So almost the entire gang left this morning on their flight back to Chicago. There were nine of us out of the 30 that stayed behind for extra time. I changed hotels leaving the historic and very touristy Sultanahmet, crossing over the Bosphorus Rıver to the area called Galata, making my way up to Begolyu and Taxım. Stıll lots of out of town travellers, but the prices for everything are at least 30% cheaper.
So where to begin speaking about the benefits of pilgrimage?
One thıng to always be aware of is that when one sets and intention, the opposite of the intention will be called up to be challenged. And although the journey itself went without me having to crawl in the psychological muck the end of pilgrimage slammed me pretty hard. I was completely blindsided late this morning and spent most of the day re-gaining my equilibrium. Knowing its all good. The pilgrimage was all about love so it made sense I was being called to love more deeply and to love unconditonally.
Much more to digest yet and the journey continues.
