Noire Pilgrim by Shirley J

Shirley J,

Human, Woman, Pilgrim

👣👣👣 Throughout the summer, I will be posting about my pilgrimage in Japan here and at my blog (link below). Yes, I am walking the 1200 kilometer-long Shikoku 88 Temple pilgrimage as Noire Henro-San.

👣👣👣 I will talk about my impressions of this looped walk from Tokushima prefecture  around the island to Kagawa prefecture and beyond.

👣👣 Join me as I learn about the Buddhist Darma master who established the path to nirvana over 1000 years ago!

I’m here to honor, love, and define myself. How I do that is my story to tell. Be wary! Every day is a lesson in courage and change.

No matter the age, no matter the stage in life, no matter the path toward self discovery, I hope it gives you the courage to do what you’ve been dreaming.

It’s never too late, but it's time.
