If you find yourself facing disappointment, try asking yourself where your attention has been focused. The real work of the journey has begun: you have to meet the gods at these ancient sites halfway. Rejoice that you have made it this far. Reading this quote in the book made me think about why people go on pilgrimages. I know the answer to this question can be anything because people go on pilgrimage for personal reasons. This passage on page 110 also made me think of the story in the book about the woman who plans every little detail of her pilgrimage and asks the man for information and he tells her, "I hope nothing goes right," as he walks away. It doesn't even explain what it means for the lady. He then explains that if everything is planned perfectly there is no room for the unexpected. If she wants to find God, how can she do it if she is not open?
