"In a pilgrimage the pilgrim and the destination create each other. Although a pilgrim route has a destination, where you arrive at the end of the pilgrimage is, at some level, not specifiable in advance. And although it is the pilgrim who makes the journey, on the course of the journey the pilgrim is made. ... The destination towards which the pilgrim walks is wholeness, but the shape of that wholeness is not specifiable and does not exist in advance. It is knowable and it is realised only in the making of the journey" (Bachelard, Experiencing God in a Time of Crisis).
