Today, my last day in Europe and the official end of my Camino’s. Time to reflect and see if 2 months of mostly walking have taught me anything of worth????
You would think a second Camino would be easier, you know the system , the daily challenges of a long-range walk and yet this Camino has been profoundly harder on me physically, spiritually and emotionally… exhausting at times. Still the best experience of my life, the people I have met, the villages and random acts of kindness have left me a little more centered and I hope this new gentleness and peace will remain with me.
So what have I learned? To stay on task and complete the challenge even when it seems impossible. Pain will pass and complaining does not help. Having someone who loves you and accepts you for who you are is the best gift in life. Life is short, find a way to be happy. Be grateful for the shelter and food you have today.
So nothing profound… just a reminder to live well, love without restraint, be of some service to others and find what speaks to your heart.
Thank you for the many emails and good wishes. I had days and moments that your love and friendship kept me going.
Buen Camino!
