#146 -- Pilgrimage
This doesn't have to be religious (but it can be). Is there something you'd like, in your lifetime, to go far to see? It can be a quirky personal journey to do with your hobbies or interests, or something very serious, meaningful, and/or spiritual. For example, I'd like to make a mango pilgrimage -- a mango world tour, to try every variety on the planet; I'd also like to go to Finland to visit Moominworld; and to Calcutta to meet the young girl I sponsor. I have a lot more; how about you?

Interesting prompt!
The story of one womans pilgimage through life in order to achieve her dream.
Ooh! I like it! Mine ended up getting a little long. So easy to get involved in the story!
You guys know how it is.
This prompt took me back to school
I liked this one. Thank you.
Mine will appear tomorrow morning. I've scheduled it for Sunday although a lot of entries seem to arrive on Saturdays. Bring a tissue with you!
well, photo enthusiasts are like pilgrims.

Where has Mr. Linky gone? He is not showing under the prompt. My offering is at http://phyllisophy.blogspot.com
I found this a tough one, and was trying to avoid talking about my impromptu trip to Australia 2 years ago, but failed.
My offering goes live at Midnight (GMT) over at

Already seen several great pilgrimage posts - good work guys!!!
Step right up! It's double redemption day!
I've got buddhism nesting on my brain...
Maelstrom's zombie percussionist is AWOL, supposedly on a pilgrimage. But what kind of pilgrimage would a zombie make? Ricky, their much-abused human manager has to find out.
This is the first time that I have ever blogged. My writing skills are rusty but with a weekly prompt I am hoping that that will change.
I just hope that I have done this correctly.
A pilgrimage by a crazy man.

Glad Mr. Linky has reappeared, but just in case, I think this is a permalink to my piece:
Imelda’s Pilgrimage piece
Thank you for the suggestion, and the opportunity to go where I have been only in imagination.
You may read my take on the prompt here:

Critique is always welcome.
And if you'd like another writer's challenge, I invite everyone over to Three Word Wednesday:

This prompt fueled my first entry as part of the blog team for Write It! Publish It! Market It! Here's the entry there...

...and the same entry at its usual hangout on my all-purpose blog:

Thanks again!
Hello!
My first time here! Looks like fun and I look forward to reading everyone's take on the prompt!
A bit off the beaten track, here's my attempt at some religious sci-fi

I've always thought that a Pilgrimage was a personal journey more than anything else and I've got an idea of the journey I want to take
Brough back some wonderful memories.
Just joined in for the first time, after thinking about it for months! Thanks for the idea.
Mine's finally up. About a trip to visit The Corner in Winslow, Arizona.
Mine's serious, for a change.
Happy MLK, Jr. Day one & all! We're on the eve of a wonderful pilgrimage! Peace, JP/deb
I took creative license with this prompt. Although I did not write on this topic, I think of Martin Luther King, Jr. today and his amazing pilgrammage for civil rights!
sorry i am a bit late! i took the MLK route as well as something more personal and tied it together. :)
My pilgrimage is more of a personal journey.
What a wonderful prompt; thank you. And on this day when our 44th president takes the oath of office, I felt especially called to complete my entry. A day of hope and faith for the future.
Sorry so late... I'm not good at being on time!?! :(
aha, very very late this week.....but i made it work.
very late but it finaly came... a pilgrimage to the core of soul....
thanks fro sharing your wonderful work...
blessings

Hi,
I was reading ur blog posts and found some of them to be very good.. u write well.. Why don't you popularize it more.. ur posts on ur blog ‘sunday scribblings’ took my particular attention as some of them are interesting topics of mine too;
BTW I help out some ex-IIMA guys who with another batch mate run www.rambhai.com where you can post links to your most loved blog-posts. Rambhai was the chaiwala at IIMA and it is a site where users can themselves share links to blog posts etc and other can find and vote on them. The best make it to the homepage!
This way you can reach out to rambhai readers some of whom could become your ardent fans.. who knows.. :)
Cheers,
Ray
This was a tough one for me, so I'm LATE, but it took me somewhere I needed to be.
So, THANK YOU!
After posting a few previous scribblings, I am back after a recent journey on the Silver Star....Teach
I wrote about my grandmother.
It made me feel good.
Hope your scrbblings made you feel good too.
It is something from my past I thought it might fit.
