someone who underneath it all doesn’t quite understand from whence they came or quite where they are going, and many times from where their next bite of bread will come; someone dependent on help from other strangers and from those who will meet them along the way. Travelling toward a place over the horizon, a pilgrim is almost by definition someone abroad in a world of impending revelation, where something is always about to happen or be revealed, including, most fearfully, and as part of their eventual arrival, a strange rehearsal for their own disappearance.
