About Pilgrims

A pilgrim is a traveler. S/he may not necessarily move physically from place to place to be a pilgrim but might travel in the world of ideas. I think our perception of pilgrims has a lot to do with turkey and cranberry sauce but the ones in Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay Colony were actually religious refugees. If you've ever been to Boston it would be very hard to imagine that asphalt and concrete as a theocracy in the wilderness of 1620. Actually, all of New England is so populated.

Back to the point---I hope the discussions and postings on this blog encourage some readers to make a mental pilgrimage--take a vacation to somewhere different---explore a new idea---think about something from a different than usual perspective--lose a prejudice--conquer a fear.
