These poems resonate with places of sanctity seen, dreamed, experienced, and remembered. Whether in Greece, Italy, Spain, India, Japan, Southeast Asia, France, or Mexico, these sacred sites transform seekers and visitors alike. These sites are intimate, profound, provocative, euphoric, and illuminating. Pilgrimages to these sites set anyone on a path to spiritual rebirth in a crass age of hyper-mediated falsehoods, corrupt politics, and misguided youth hypnotized by trivia. These passages hopefully inspire and encourage anyone to travel to some of them and, while there, learn to be silent, simple, humble, aware, and open. The poems question, struggle with doubt and belief, accept the Mystery, and illuminate the journey of the seeker.
