The Pilgrim's Odyssey

The Pilgrim's Odyssey is your guide on life's wild ride. Every episode brings you inspirational stories and practical advice on living deeply, united in a spirit of friendship and love. Silouan Green, The Pilgrim's Odyssey host, began to find his own answers after a tragic jet crash on an epic 23-month, over 20,000 mile motorcycle trip. For over 20 years he has spoken and taught thousands to take positive action in facing the trials and traumas of life.

Driving from the airport in Minneapolis-St. Paul to Alexandria I stumbled upon Charlie’s Café in Freeport, MN on the Lake Wobegon trail. I met a Russian motorcyclist. His motorcycle was pimped out Mad Max style and his smile was full of mischievousness.

He told me about Russian churches a 1000 years old and “serious” religion. Quite a character to meet on a stop along the Lake Wobegon trail.

In a roundabout way it reminded me of something I had read on the flight to Minnesota from a 5th Century Bishop, Diadochus:

“Very few men can accurately recognize their own faults; indeed, only those can do this whose intellect is never torn away from the remembrance of God.”
