Re:  Coehlo:

He did write a beautiful description of pilgrimage:


“When you travel, you experience, in a very practical way, the act of 
rebirth. You confront completely new situations, the day passes more slowly, 
and on most journeys you don’t even understand the language the people 
speak. So you are like a child just out of the womb. You begin to attach 
much more importance to the things around you because your survival depends 
upon them. You begin to be more accessible to others because they may be 
able to help you in difficult situations. And you accept any small favor 
from the gods with great delight, as if it were an episode you would 
remember for the rest of your life.”
-Paolo Coehlo
