These peregrini,as they were also known, viewed their wanderings, or peregrinations, as a process of seeking their places of “resurrection” – they were searching for their path of new beginnings.*
Philip Newell
Those whose hope is strong see and cherish all signs of new life and are ready every moment to help the birth of that which is ready to be born.**
Erich Fromm
Not all those who wander are
trying to get away from something,
And not knowing what it is that is
being travelled towards doesn’t mean
these roamers are lost in their imaginations;
they are coupling their attention and creativity to a
deep reality missed by others,
Ready to bring to birth the
unlikely and incomprehensible.
