I Can Hear The Fire Crackling

The quince is bursting forth, such enthusiasm!

Sunday morning and a little chilly but sunny outside. It may get up to fifty degrees on a day like this with the help of the sun. But, but we are scheduled to fly to Massachusetts tomorrow to see our nine month old grandson. That sounds sort of easy except for the weather there at that end. Snow, snow and more snow with airports closed and all that goes with that. So we shall see.

So, this week I turned over my hiking poles to a friend, Art, who will be walking the Camino in May. I couldn’t resist the idea of having him use them and of them traveling across again. They have a lot of kilometers left in them. Also, two neighbors that came over to walk with me on Friday will be Caminoing in April.

Of course we are jealous of all that. Going again to finish places that we missed or covering the same ground is tempting to think about. There is something a little dicey about going back I think. Going back requires a real suspension of expectations. It will be different but of course that doesn’t mean lesser. Could be way better I suppose but that is hard to imagine. Needless to saw that I thought that I had thre perfect Camino with all of you being perfect partners in that.

One of my local Caminoheads is in hospice. Please pray for Susan. I wish that I could have got to know her better but I got to know her some.

Well, not too much going on today, just need to pack for the trip east. I will blog from there to continue the flow of things. Yup, alperfect, love, Felipe.

  1. No need to be jealous, Felipe. I’ve met many people who have walked El Camino more than once and they all say that comparison is useless as each Camino is unique. The small part of yours that I shared seemed alperfect!

    Have a good, safe journey…

    Love,

    1. MM ~ tapas without you is not the same. That’s my thought. Gotta go and pack. I think there is WeeFee where I’m going if it isn’t frozen. So will be in touch, love, Felipe.

  2. The idea of your poles going back to the Camino is fantastic… I say that my poles are the continuum of my arms! Part of you will be there walking 🙂
    Plan another camino, Phil! This is the only way to move on from the First one!
    love, l.

  3. Lucia ~ Yes, I am sending my poles on vacation. I thought that it was a good idea, glad that you liked it. This reminds me that I wanted to do a post about your latest hiking adventure. Thanks for the news and the pix. You’re the best, keep warm loves, Felipe.
