Image and Pilgrimage #1 -Kristen Gladfelter

As I was reading “Image and Pilgrimage,” I read the definition of flow, or the merging of action and awareness. I started to think of how this would be relevant to walking the AT. Would you be so engrossed in the journey that you cease to be aware of your own being? Or is it that the end goal is what causes complete focus? In my mind, I think it’s a combination of both of these ideas and more. When you are traveling over 2000 miles on foot, your main goal is to finish and, well, survive for that matter. I can only imagine that you begin to witness flow when you are completely emerged in a journey such as this one.
