Tom Traverse, Chairperson Stephanie Puracchio, Clerk May 05, 12, 2023 a glimpse into the riches found in this amazing country. A pilgrimage is a journey in which you move simultaneously geographically and spiritually. It is to travel both outside and within. It also cleanses the soul of the more toxic elements of electronic communication. Thirdly, this trip will allow me to meet people I would not otherwise encounter over the course of my days. As the poet John O’Donohue writes in his poem “For the Traveler,” “Every time you leave home, “Another road takes you “Into a world you were never in. “New strangers on other paths await. “New places that have never seen you entry. “Will startle a little at your “Old places that know you well “Will pretend nothing Changed since your last visit” We are a divided country in many ways. I fear that too many of us have sought refuge in ideological silos and have become incapable of engaging in honest and loving conversations with those who live in situations very different than our own. I am haunted by the comment by Paul Ricoeur: “Tolerance is not a concession that I make to the other, it is the recognition of the principle that part of the truth escapes me.” I travel with the desire to expand my own capacity for tolerance and with the firm belief that part of the truth does escape me. I am grateful that my wife, Denise, will be joining me for the first part of my journey from Seattle across the Olympic peninsula in Washington State. She will join me later in Jackson, Wyoming, to explore that beautiful part of the country. The rest of the journey I will travel alone. I have always been surrounded by loving and supportive friends and family. Consequently, I have spent very little of my life alone. I must confess that I find the prospect a bit terrifying. I am challenged by the admonition of the mathematician Blaise Pascal, who once wrote, “All men’s miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet place alone.” I am also inspired by the spiritual counsel offered by the economist and onetime General Secretary of the United Nations, Dag Hammarskjöld: “Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for and great enough to die for.” I will be keeping a blog site – https://bikepilgrimageusa.blogspot.com/ – for those who would like to follow this journey. I shall be starting on May 15 and plan to reach Saugus by August 25. Editor’s Note: The Rev. John Beach has been the priestin-charge at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Saugus for three years.
