Walking with Questions
A pilgrim trail for today
Rhiw-Llanfaelrhys-Aberdaron-Uwchmynydd-Mynydd
Mawr
Draft, Spring 2009
Proposed Opening
on Saturday 5 September with Bishop Andrew of Bangor Details later.
An eight mile walk from Rhiw Church, via Llanfaelrhys and Aberdaron,
to the old coastguard station on the top of Mynydd Mawr, overlooking Ynys
Enlli, Bardsey Island,
A tenth of a mile for each year of your life
from birth to eighty. Four or five steps for each week!
Ponder your
lifeline. Take your time. Scribble in a notebook. Share memories with
your companions.
Walk towards the tip of the Llyn Peninsula, time
past slowly overtaking time future, the sea, symbol of the eternal,
pressing ever closer, until there is no way back, only the unknown future.
What’s it all about? What has it been all about? What do I regret?
What am I thankful for? Where did I come from? Where am I going? What
do I want to do with the rest of my life?
The poet Rilke wrote: Be
patient towards the unresolved. Love the questions themselves. Realize
that answers come only when you are able to live them. Live the questions
themselves. Gradually, without realizing it, in the distant future, you
may come to live into the answers.
