"Don't define your journey while you're still on it. Be open to it. Don't think it's only going to be one way." – Paul Barach
In this episode of Deviate, Rolf and Paul discuss why Paul chose Japan for a pilgrimage, and the seven categories of disciplines he used on the hike (1:40); the route and history of the Shikoku Pilgrimage (9:40); Paul's experiences on the trail (21:00); and Paul's lessons and regrets from the trip, including why you shouldn't define your journey while you're still on it (34:30).
