Made It!

 
 

One week ago today I walked across the finish line of my 3,100 mile walk across America.
:
It was a surreal feeling as I walked across the Sundial Bridge while thinking about how I started at the Brooklyn Bridge 178 days before.
:
When I stepped off that bridge in NY I was truly stepping into the unknown.
:
I didn’t have a crew with me. I didn’t have a support vehicle, a hotel fund or even a route mapped out more than 100 miles.
:
A lot of people assume that when you do something like this you already have experience.
:
Prior to walking off that bridge I’d never been on an overnight backpacking trip.
:
I’d never walked more than 15 or 16 miles ( or any miles at all with my backpack and gear)
:
Yet despite all this I walked off that bridge with confidence as I envisioned walking across the finish line.
:
After a coupled months of walking I felt guided. As if I was being led with constant light and protection all around me.
:
I felt led with purpose, driven with passion, as if I walking into a new version of myself.
:
Just like a ritual or a right of passage, this walk became a holy pilgrimage for me.
:
For the next 7 days I’ll post lessons learned from my holy pilgrimage walk.
:
Theses lessons were spoken to me in a soft clear voice as I stood alone in the desolate backroads of America, and asked for me to share with you all.
:
I’ll post lesson 1 tomorrow so stay tune.

Walk on ~ Jeremy
