Many lectionaries have the passage from Luke relating two travelers' experience of the resurrected Jesus while traveling to Emmaus.
Where are you finding experiences of the Resurrection that call you forth to new roads and insights?
Lao Tzu:
Keeping to the main road is easy, but people love to be sidetracked.
In our willingness to be sidetracked are moments of grace. Are we open to seeing resurrection? The experience of the Divine, or even our expectation of having such an experience, opens the "veil" of our travels infusing them with a different light.
"The practice of soulful travel is to discover the overlapping point between history and everyday life, the way to find the essence of every place, every day: in the markets, small chapels, out-of-the-way parks, craft shops. Curiosity about the extraordinary in the ordinary moves the heart of the traveler intent on seeing behind the veil of tourism."*
