After last nights jacuzzi, steam room , sauna, and an hour long massage, I was ready to set out on the Camino again. Awoke to stormy skies, and a brisk wind. This was a long walk today 32 km most of it in a light on and off again rain. I have my son Randy to thank for his suggestions on rain gear, I stayed dry all day. For me this was a very boring day along the city streets and along a road for mile after mile. When I got to the albergue I realized that this was the first time that I took no photos all day. It was however a good day to listen to music and continue the never ending probing into my inner self and spirit.
It came to mind that I have completed one month of my journey. A journey that has been an amazing experience, great joy, great sadness, physical pain, mental cruelty, ego distraction, new friends, some that will last a lifetime, others only enter your life for a day or two, then vanish as rapidly as they appeared. But each leaving a lasting imprint in my mind. Some will leave a lasting positive impression, some the opposite.
The joy the heartache, the success the disappointment, the love the beauty, the frustration the resolve, deep connection , disassociation, helpfulness, selfishness are all experienced along the path.
I remind myself that I am blessed, at the end of a long day I have a shower and a bed waiting for me, I only wish the shower had hot water . Tomorrow the water will be hot. I am blessed that I have my wife and family. I am blessed with good health, I am blessed with good friends, that all add to my riches to my life.no photos taken today so here are a few from the last month.
Thought for the day; Man’s character is his destiny.
