We have walked our separate pilgrimages through professional careers in education and organized religion. We’ve made these journeys holding hands as a married couple for over 50 years. We’ve experienced the joys of being parents and now grandparents. We’ve traversed through the dark stormy days of grief and failure. We’ve written a book together offering many stories about pilgrimage being a way of life. We are deeply passionate about seeking Wisdom’s Way in our journey and with fellow travelers. We've traveled with many companions for over 20+ years. Experience has formed and matured us, yet it has not given us the permission to tell anyone how to live their life. We do not have all the answers—few, in fact. Our questions mount every day leading us into new understandings.
