Source of the River Bride (pronounced Breedy) in Littlebredy, Dorset.
I greatly enjoy encountering river sources during pilgrimage. Either as a destination, or as a place to collect pure water to offer to other holy places as gift, or as a starting point for a pilgrimage to the river’s mouth and the sea.
It seems to me that walking a river is a perfect encapsulation of life - we rise, innocent and hopeful, we journey the world, accumulate many influences, grow thick, slow and powerful, then blend into the great water where all rivers end.
River pilgrimage is a good way forward. Have you walked to/from the source of a river?
