Well, I'm back, and though I had had an uncanny intuition before leaving, I had not fully expected my second pilgrimage to so utterly surpass the first!
I was content to undergo it and say no more, remembering the exhausting effort that went into relating the first journey. Checking facts, organizing thoughts, and weighing constantly the balance between the anecdotal and the spiritual had taken a long time, and (I thought) who had read it? Nope! No point troubling over that again!
Well, it turns out that some had read it (oh), and I was even asked if I planned on writing about the second one. The more I contemplate it, the more I think that writing out what I learned and felt is as good an exercise for me as it might be (I hope) edifying or entertaining for any reader stumbling onto my blog. So, balancing myself between some essays that need finishing, I will soon embark on the trail of describing my second upwards fall to Jasna Góra.
