Redemption

Redemption

Redemption, we made it! We loaded with breakfast and rode to redemption. We went with a friend who is also a cycle-tourist, recently back from China/Nepal/India. I think it is very good to have a guide on way to redemption, especially the last part, which is difficult. The hardest thing of this last day, which we have known for a week already, is that once we reach redemption, that is the end.

Redemption is like liberty, it is a kind of freedom. “Liberty” is the freedom to be free. “Redemption”, the freedom of the end. For us it is the end of the journey.

So, now that we are free we notice that nothing has stopped. Only that we no longer travel towards “Redemption”.

Cristo de Redemptor

As you can see it was a misty day. Our destination was an island inside a cloud, just us and Christ, and the other ascended tourists. In this way there was a connection to Lady Liberty who also chose to met under a grey sky, with wind, with rain.

There is another connection between the Lady and Christ. Both are enormous French gifts, given around the same time to the respective nations. I did not know this till yesterday, when Johki told me.

There now, here we are.
