very tired today... and even tired now at 10:20pm and I had a nap for about an hour in mid-afternoon. Maybe it is the black russian drinks?
Well... off to bed soon. Just watched to Brokenwoods - 5th season. Read some Huckleberry Finn. Tomorrow reading will be devoted to Solieveichick.... And to sleeping in, a zoom program from Mosaic Law, workout, chorus, and picking up Ellen at airport. I hope I can stay the night and from her place go to CBS for service and then meet up w/Sarah for lunch and/or museum. I need to call Jim and change out meet to another day.
Today's talk by R. Stein -- interesting ... about pilgimages... Durkheim and Turners ... See some notes from google searches I did... AND CONSIDER/REMEMBER --- I personally need to go on a pilgrimage .. that is what was the core of my thinking about a trip, retreat, etc.... now that I have lost my sister, mother, and father... I NEEED TO DO THIS SOON!!!!!! Maybe start with train segments --- with an interlude between Mississippi and Florida - followed by another interlude up to NYC... and then train across...?? Or something like that.... With times for writing, thinking, writing, thinking, meditating!!!!
ONE:
Durkheim did not write extensively on "pilgrimage" directly, but his concepts of collective consciousness, collective effervescence, and the sacred and profane provide a strong theoretical framework for understanding why pilgrims gather and what happens when they do. He viewed religion as a force that creates social solidarity by generating intense emotional experiences in group rituals, a phenomenon he termed collective effervescence, and he saw the sacred objects and sites that pilgrims visit as symbols of this shared social reality. Therefore, pilgrimage can be understood as a ritualistic practice
