Well, I am happy to say that Catherine, Jessika and I pilgrimed the heck out of it yesterday with our Good Friday Trek. It was lightly raining and cloudy the whole time of the four hours it took to walk to church. I had torn my jeans and had dried blood on my face but I got there.

It was fun to see some of the trails that Kelly, Rick and I trained on back in the day, back in 2014. It was spring out there with mushrooms, little blue flowers and one random turkey. We were reminded of what a beautiful place we live in.

Holy Saturday here today. It always seems like a strange in-between time. I like to believe that Jesus was visiting the ancestors giving them the Good Word, bringing them to salvation during this vailed time. And now we all live for tomorrow.

Today as I calculate is the fortieth day of Lent and Annie O’Neil’s book Everyday Camino with Annie gives us this last quote:

Recently I shifted from my beginning
mentality of worrying about conquering
the Camino and have settled
into just cruising along being
happy I am able to do it.
Phil Volker

Well how about that? I got lucky enough to get into this group with Dalai Lama and Yogi Berra, not to mention the other notables. Well, throughly flattered I am. My being in there at all was a result of Annie and my meeting on March 2nd 2014 when Martin Sheen handed me over to her for my further training. Our meeting caused her book to be finished and our film to begin to be, heady times.

Thanks for being here today and see you tomorrow for celebration. Only the best to you fellow pilgrims, love, Felipé.
