The video below
is one of the most beautiful videos
is one of the most beautiful videos
on the Camino
I have seen in a while.
When friends and relatives ask,
"What do you DO on the Camino?"
this should explain it a bit better.
To me, in 2016,
walking the Camino is a lot
like going to Woodstock was
for hippies in the 60's.
It is a Rite of Passage.
It is a place of comradery.
You meet people, tell them you were there,
and they exclaim, 'I did it too!"
and suddenly you are family.
You understand each other.
I have a deep respect
and a great love for the Camino.
It has healed me on so many levels.
It continues to heal pilgrims.
It will heal you too.
You will find answers on the Camino,
if you don't take things
One step in front of the other,
under the blue skies,
the thunderclouds,
the rain,
the snow,
and the stars...
one step in front of the other
while the wind blows the dross from your mind
and makes you realize
how cluttered your life has become.
When you return home,
you know how happy a person can be
with just what can be carried on the back.
You are like a snail
- with your home on your back -
and it's liberating!
Don't let people discourage you.
You can do it.
Just show your worried relatives this video
posted below.
posted below.
Then go.
Buen Camino!
