Well, I think that covers it. That just popped up in the Comments section with Caminohead Robbi. We were talking of the Lizi Qi’s videos on UTube. Robbi watched the one on corn and loved it, cried over it she said. That particular video was about growing, processing and cooking corn recipes.
So the words beautiful, basic and bountiful came to me as I read Robbi’s words. That is what attracts me to the videos and maybe the same can be said of the Camino. It calls to me, I feel drawn to it or it speaks to me are all ways to try and describe that feeling. We hunger for what it gives out so freely.
If given the chance we could think about and fondle it with our minds and memories day and night. But reality calls and we try and integrate the two together. That’s our job now. That’s our dilemma. That’s our vocation.
Well, speaking of corn I am back out to the patch. Finally got done with the weeding and onward to mowing and feeding. The quest to keep my babies all happy and growing.
blue sky miss you loves, Felipé.
Exactly! You really have a gift for boiling the meaningful down to the essence!! Thanks for sharing it with us! I do believe that our Caminos create that ability in all of us, too, as we continue pilgrimage in our “real” worlds. You just do it in an elevated fashion!!
Robbi ~ we are lucky to have glimpsed this and to have captured it. I don’t think captured is exactly the right word but to have somehow internalized the experience. Stay tuned, Felipé.x
