No Journey's End

Listening to Loreena McKennitt’s No Journey’s End*:

“I would say that I’m a pilgrim like any one else is a pilgrim in the sense that we use our tools, our skills to make our way through this life and try to make a sense of it of that we can. When I am able to stand back and look at what I’m doing; I am definitely using my career and my talents as a vehicle of exploring in one sense of many things and subjects that are interest to me.I suppose more than just a deep fascination; It’s just how does the world go around... and it's wonderful to be able to use the music, the travel and research to explore these questions. So when I take that to my music when I’m doing my recordings, my recordings become more like a travel law, become a document of my path of exploration....”

For the last four years, whenever my life has been at the threshold of breaking down, I have sat and talked to myself, revised my demands and set up new ways of giving meaning to my life.
During this time, many people have insulted me, many have ignored my feelings, many have told me big lies and sold me for a trifle price, but in all of these situations I have tried to remain strong. I wish I could see them all and tell them how their behaviors have helped me to find myself and to make big decisions for my future.
Now I feel my life is on another big moment .The next 12 months will be very decisive for me. It has the power of shaping me and revitalizing me once again if only I don’t lose my conscious, hope, insight, patience, concentration, perseverance and reliance. May this year of 2006 become an unforgettable year.
