Throughout my journey, I have been gradually making things and collecting items to build an altar at the source. Things that want to be on that altar have gradually made themselves known:
A small bowl of water from the tap, represents water that has passed through human hands and the element of Water more widely
A stone from the beach at Southend on Sea, which I carried throughout the walk from end to end, represents the journey and the element of earth. Perhaps the stone will make the journey back to the beach someday.
A seed from the path, which I believe to be the case of a Walnut seed, represents the plant life, abundance and growth
A feather from the path - there were many feathers directly in my path on the journey, perhaps they were trying to tell me something, but on the altar, the feather represents the animal life and the element of air. Photo
A stick. I used many sticks as walking aids throughout my journey, they have been a great support. This stick represents interdependence, kindling and the element of fire. photo
A stone from the nature reserve of my heart in Oxford from which I carved a human face. This represents me, the work I do, and humankind photo
These items I bring to the source as a gift, a closure, an opening, and an acknowledgement of the relationship between all things.
