When midnight comes, I will not run Into the arms of my regrets, Nor will I fear the pain of wounds That have not scathed me yet. I will stand upon the border Of this year and the next, And say farewell with open hands And a whispered thankfulness. When midnight comes, I will not tie A burden round my neck, Nor weigh down my soul with resolutions To validate my breath.

I had the absolute JOY of sitting down with Scott Erickson who's an incredible artist, speaker and creative curate. We covered a lot of ground in our conversation such as navigating an evolving faith, developing a visual language and learning to say yes to our own stories. You've probably seen Scott's incredible art on IG but if not: https://www.instagram.com/scottthepainter Join The Pilgrimage Co www.thepilgrimage.co Intro music by TWICEYOUNG

The latest conversation to drop is with Zoe Clarke-Coats, who amongst many things is a grief specialist. Aquatinted closely with suffering, she is a guide for us upon the tricky terrain of loss and gives incredibly helpful (and hopeful) language for that which is so hard to speak of.

Yes my friends! Okay, you're in for a treat with this one.

I had the honour of (virtually) sitting down with John Mark Mcmillan. Not only a songwriter and lyrical mastermind, but John Mark also seems to speak prophetically into our times, each time his new record drops, with poetic depth and honest care for his listeners. We cover a lot of terrain in this conversation and I can't wait to hear what you think! https://www.johnmarkmcmillan.com Join The Pilgrimage Co - www.thepilgrimage.co Intro music by TWICEYOUNG
