A journey within a journey – sojourning…
What is in a title? What does it mean? It is this very title that has come about by our own interest – our interest of travelling, travelling then staying and then travelling some more. A journey you ask? Yes, but more than that – sojourning. Getting to this point has been a journey – a journey in obtaining the right equipment for the journey, testing it, the journey in trailblazing a route that we will take that will enable us to reach the destinations we want to get to, and the journey in the self-actualisation in realising what mental, physical and Spiritual shifts are needed to endure the journey itself. With some things, words, and even pictures are insufficient to describe the indescribable, but here are some of the highlight moments in this journey over the past year or so (click on the captions for the Tale of each):
Marloth Mountain Challenge Trail Run
Groot Winterhoek Wilderness Hike
A journey within a journey itself! It is about the present, action and movement; about the next challenge in planning, preparation and participation – overcoming that and moving on. This then is more than just a sojourn, but sojourning. According to The Free Dictonary, sojourning is to “reside temporarily”. Each moment we live is a moment to reflect, to reside on that particular experience, tell that Tale and move on. We call it sojourning…a journey within a journey. In our sojourning, we keep in mind what a Trailblazer of antiquity, the Apostle Paul, once said:
“Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 3:13-14
Enjoy!
