aminho de Assis.
the Pilgrimage, but also about many other spiritual pilgrims who have undoubtedly raised the quality of this way.
We pass through Assisi, La Verna (the sacred mount of the stigmata), Gubbio, Montecasale, and then through other Franciscan centres with an important spiritual meaning, such as the hermitages of Cerbaiolo, Monte Paolo (Anthony’s first home in Italy), Casella, etc., not forgetting the hermitage and the Benedictine monastery of Camaldoli.
The villages along the itinerary respect the traditional Franciscan presence, while the connecting paths have been chosen reflecting the ancient lines of communication and at the same time extolling the best panoramic views. We have tried to offer a stimulating naturalistic and cultural itinerary. Furthermore, the way has also been studied to guarantee the safety of the pilgrims: the isolated areas and paths of the mountains have been avoided in order to keep risks to a minimum.
80% of the itinerary is also practicable by bicycle; this “new” kind of pilgrimage has replaced the horseback way of the past.
A close collaboration is carried out with Forest Corps and Park Guards, because we cross many territories under their control.
Starting from Dovadola, Rocca San Casciano, Portico, Premilcuore, Santa Sofia (Corniolo, Campigna), we enter Tuscany walking along a very beautiful ridge immersed in the Casentino Park, reaching Badia Prataglia (municipality of Poppi), Chiusi della Verna, Michelangelo Caprese, Pieve Santo Stefano, Sansepolcro, and then we pass into Umbria crossing Città di Castello, Pietralunga and Gubbio, where we can choose the itinerary to Valfabbrica (the classical Franciscan way) or to the wonderful park of Monte Cucco, passing through Gualdo Tadino, finally arriving at Nocera Umbra and walking along the same path of the last “extreme Journey” of St. Francis to Assisi.What? First of all I couldn't find anything bad posted by you, only some seemingly weird and random things.  Do you really believe that, or are you saying that just to appeal to your own expectations of yourself, and to escape the need to deal with yourself? I mean when you say someting like this, look all the way at the end. What does it accomplish? What is it good for? What is the end result? The end result is you either don't really believe you are a horrible person, or you do. Either way, there is something wrong, and it won't change until you make it change. Other people can help you, but nobody is really responsible for your hardships, and nobody is really responsible fir fixing them as well. Making people accept you as a horrible person will not only not work, but it will also make your problems worse.In my 14 years living CreativelyAble, I have had many interactions with people who don’t know me AT ALL. Most interactions initiated by strangers have been neutral. But, some have been offensive and frankly “pissed me off!” I have learned over the years that each moment is teachable for them and if I’m honest, for me as well. I’d like to share thoughts and advice from my experience, research, and conversations that will be helpful as we all learn to interact effectively.
Number 5 – Offering Help
If you see a person with a disability who YOU think is struggling, ASK if they’d like your help BEFORE jumping in like a first responder. Many people with disabilities want to do things on their own. It may be for independence or for therapeutic reasons. A simple question like “may I assist you?” is advisable. If they say “no thank you” don’t hover. Wish them a good day and move on. Many adults with disabilities are perfectly capable of asking for help if they need it.
Number 4 – Compliments
My best advice here is to THINK before offering a compliment. Ask yourself…
- Is the compliment/comment about their disability?
- Is it something you would say to a non-disabled person?
- Are they busy doing something like shopping, moving quickly, reading, texting etc?
If the answer is “yes” to any of these questions, keep it to yourself. People with disabilities don’t consider themselves extraordinary just living their daily lives. Telling them you are “proud of them” or that they are “inspiring” can come across as condescending. Additionally, if the person is busy, your comment might be annoying.
Number 3 – Making Comments
As advised in number 4, THINK before you speak and ask yourself the questions above. The difference here is (for example) telling a person to “slow down, you might get a ticket!” or asking them if they have a license for their chair is annoying and quite unoriginal. I know YOU think it’s funny, but it isn’t! You should avoid comments that reference their mobility device or disability.
Number 2 – Addressing A Person
If a person with a disability is with others, please address everyone not only those who are standing. Some time ago I went into a shoe store with my sister. We were both shopping for shoes. The salesperson greeted my sister and didn’t address me…AT ALL. I continued to look at shoes, and the salesperson asked everyone (at eye level) around me if they needed help. I left the store. I’ve grown a bit since that interaction. Now, I would lovingly yet sternly let the salesperson know what they did and how it felt.
Being ignored is never pleasant. And many people with disabilities feel invisible. Remember to smile and address everyone in the group with kindness.
Number 1 – Being Too Familiar
People with disabilities don’t want to hear about…
- that time you were in a chair 2 years ago
- your grandmother who used one of those chairs before she died
You’d be surprised at how often people have stopped me to share their stories of bad health. Also, offers of prayer assume that people share your beliefs. And implies that YOU think they need healing to be complete. And finally, asking people what happened to them is inappropriate and none of your business.
In a world of political incorrectness, the best advice I can offer is…
- Greet the person, not the device or disability! Say hello, and keep moving
- Be mindful and think before you offer a “pseudo-clever” comment
- Be considerate, and speak as you would to any other adult (no baby language or baby tones, please)
- ASK before helping a person with a disability, If they say “no thank you” accept it
- Try to see things from our perspective. We are busy, productive, tax-paying members of society. Oftentimes we don’t have time for small talk (just like you)
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE US! We CAN do a lot more than you think!
We are all people first, worthy of respect and love. In most cases, your desire to be kind will be received with kindness.
If you screw it up, forgive yourself and begin again.
Approach EVERYTHING with love and…when in doubt, shut your mouth!
Please share this post!!
Love, and Light!
