One Small Step, One Giant Leap

A lone traveler crosses into rural Mexico and walks into a silent valley where faith, solitude, and stark beauty converge. In a forgotten village and forest of obsidian, he confronts modern distraction, ancient ritual, and a turning point that reshapes his spiritual path.

The 1977 film Close Encounters of the Third Kind features Devils Tower National Monument. Encounters of a different kind have been occurring there for millennia, as a sacred site of American Indian communities for generations. The Lakota people know it as Mato Tipila, or Bears Lodge, a holy site. They regularly make pilgrimages there, where they perform rituals and leave offerings.

I haven't been public on social media for months, and here now is a long post on Passages about the state of my #pilgrimage:

I am not as averse to the socials as I used to be, especially since discovering the #fediverse. I have just been more inward-facing lately, making use of the conditions supportive of that at Dhammagiri Forest Hermitage.

As I enter the third leg of a nine-month 'gap year' between Bodhivana and SBS, I feel like #writing more. #dhamma

Thank you. #wanderbeast #adventure #travel #kindness #pilgrimage

Happy #Saturday, y'all.
The @druid and moi have been on our annual #pilgrimage to #AshwoodNurseries.

The array of gorgeous things was fabulous as usual.

Paying to see John's garden gives you access to the hellebore display tunnel where there is far more to choose from than what is available in the garden centre for mere mortals.

The garden is only open on Saturdays.

You know what to do.
