For anyone else: Jean's blog is 'tasting rhubarb', which you can find in the 'interesting blogs' bit below and to the right of this post. I recommend it.<br /><br />Phil Cousineau's other books include a simple and beautiful book with photos called 'Soul of the Earth', which is a profound and inspiring little book. I keep it by my bedside. For information: I found another of his - can't remember the title - maybe 'Soul Moments' or 'Soul Whispers' - less inspiring and a little more trite by comparison with 'The Art of Pilgrimage' or SotE - it is about moments of synchronicity, but I can't help feeling other books by other authors have dealt with that better. The other two I have mentioned of his are extremely precious to me, and would be some of the ones I'd attempt to save first in the event of a fire! I always take 'The Art of Pilgrimage' with me to Iona, and on other journeys too.rosellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00971482422276765335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055598777203654547.post-28784538020773311302011-06-08T15:02:31.979+01:002011-06-08T15:02:31.979+01:00I loved this film too.

It's heartening that such starry Hollywood people choose to make such a gentle, simple film.<br /><br />Your earlier mention of Phil Cousineau and his books resonated at once and I've already ordered second-hand copies of several, about pilgrimage and about accessing creativity.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08690685768980280402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055598777203654547.post-34323293435955426732011-06-08T08:52:26.726+01:002011-06-08T08:52:26.726+01:00What a lovely comment!

Whichever,) I'm very touched and pleased as I woke this morning thinking 'that was a dire and turgid post - no-one's going to get through that one!' - and was about to severely edit it. So that's very affirming and I'm off to youtube.<br /><br />Something that's beginning to happen here on the blog because of people's comments is that I'm really beginning to feel a sense of a cybercommunity of fellow travellers. It's a great feeling.rosellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00971482422276765335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055598777203654547.post-8788724094663920102011-06-07T22:30:16.795+01:002011-06-07T22:30:16.795+01:00Camino as sacred journey - wonderful.

What you write reminds me, sideways, of Atahualpa Yupanqui's 'Camino del indio' - one of my favourite songs ("Caminito del indio que junta el valle con las estrellas" - "Indian's path that links the valley to the stars").
