Oh man, we are still digging out from the Great Snows of ‘19. The landscape is pretty busted up as it reveals itself as the snow rots and uncovers it. My beautiful plum tree lost two major limbs, that’s what I am mourning most right now. But we got My Rebecca’s car out to the pavement and gone. She was so antsy to get out of here.
And yesterday after my hospital visit I made a pilgrimage to see Trudy James extraordinary person and producer of the short documentary Speaking of Dying. Trudy is retired now from hospital chaplaincy and made this film which came out in 2015, same as Phil’s Camino. We had a couple of hours to gab and that was productive. And I have a copy of her DVD if you want to watch it.
And back to the impossibilities thread, I would like to keep that going for a while longer. In a minute I must run for today but will be back tomorrow for more. It’s all good right?Don’t have to reinvent the wheel every darn day.
Miss you, love you, Felipé.
I’m happy to hear that you and Rebbeca are out and about. I know how that snowed in feeling gets to folks.
We had the pleasure of hosting two young engineering graduates from Quebec via CouchSurfing for a couple of days and of course, they had to hear about the Camino. They are on their way to New Orleans for Mardi Gras and seeing the parks of the US on their way. They hiked in the Jefferson National Forest in our area, headed to Grandfather’s Mountain next.
Anyway, we told them about your habit of walking, having guests walk with you and the amazing story of your Camino, and the movie, and all that. They were amazed. I sent them on their way with a copy of the DVD and hinted that there was likely someone along their journey that would need to see that 24 minutes of miracle making.
I’m excited to hear what happens as they stay with others along the way. They immediately punched Philscamino into google on their phones and started reading the results. I trust that they will experience great things on this trip.
Ronaldo ~ so great to hear of you and Ann working with folks one on one or maybe two on two in this case. Thank you for talking up Phil’s Camino. And it is interesting how ideas and notions travel on their way with a life of there own. This morning I was having a conversation with my Mass partner Catherine about you two being in Astorga and reporting from there for Caminoheads. So exciting! Felipé.
