Let me apologize for not getting with you yesterday. We had a lot of moving parts going on to keep us busy. And then lastly Sherie showed up with her friend Mary from Tacoma to walk and tapa. So they stayed for dinner of venison and corn on the cob. Yup, life on the farm, all very Norman Rockwell.
It kind of struck me today as I was doing the morning walk how crazy we Caminoheads are. Not that I was thinking about Sherie specifically, but she helped, but just pilgrims in general. But Sherie is in there and I’m in there. We all have been changed and set loose. Annie is in there as well as well you know who you are. Annie put it, “we can’t help ourselves.” That is part of it too.
It is delightful really and I never seem to tire of it, this Caminoism. It is the Way. It is the Way of St James or a close offshoot of Jesus Christ the Way. Before Christianity had a name, before that word was coined, the movement was called the Way. It’s all related, right? And it is real, workable and accessible. That is the beauty of it.
I weep while writing my good blogs so I know which ones are good. This is a good one. Have to go do some work, Labor Day, no holidays around here apparently. Miss you, love you, Felipe.
I think I know what you are saying… these days 3 years ago, I was walking the “whole thing”… really, I don’t think I knew at the time what I was doing, even having been in the Camino before for 12 days… The truth is now, that among all the things I “know” “I” “am”, the truest one is pilgrim. And the best thing of being a pilgrim is that I recognize others…
Caminoism is a great definition for this ease (exactly the opposite of “dis-ease”)

Cris ~ Caminoful hugs, you are really in the zone, nice. Yes, it is an ease that we find, that we recognize in others who have found it. The opposite of dis-ease, that is so good! This is going to cause me to reorganize my brain files. Somehow we might be getting to the center of things. Maybe? Felipe.x
