So So Absent

My Rebecca looking off.

Geez, Felipe has been overwhelmed with pilgrim business, that’s what has happened. I could blame it on the lovely Catalina but that would only be partially right. We had a serious backlog of business for one. Then we had to plot the course of our ship, our new book. Notice how I am saying “our”.

Our is the right word. I can’t really give you the details but a plan has emerged, a good plan. All we needed was a time to get together and let our flint and steel spark. So, things will be set in motion.

That is what I am telling you that a good thing is in the wind. As Sister Joyce says you have to tell people something and you have to ask something of them. So, you my faithful readers please participate in giving us some feedback. Catalina has been sending out emails to as many folks as possible who have walked here at Phil’s Camino asking for reflections. Can you do that for us?

And maybe you have read this blog and learned something or were moved. Please send something in. You can put this in the comments for this blog and I can forward them.

You see part of this book is about me, Felipe, part is about you and part is about the new emerging interest in pilgrimage and it’s importance to us. We are on some sort of threshold to a new way and pilgrimage seems to hold some clues and foreshadowing of what that is. You are a part of that, you see?

Please send in something that you think expresses your feelings about walking and talking at Phil’s Camino or Caminoheads blog. This could be prose or poetry, a recipe maybe. But please be a part of this. This is our future unfolding.

Ah, I have a walk in fifteen minutes with folks from out of town. The beat goes on as they say. Well, it’s alperfect once again, Saint James is afoot! Love you guys, Felipe.

  1. This is amazing, Felipe!! I am so happy for you and us all! You just said something some days ago, about what you would be doing if not keeping Caminoheads alive and walking Phil’s Camino… I am pretty sure you wouldn’t be here… While healing and curing are not the same, there is some curing that comes from healing, and there is where you are on… and you are taking there all of us.

    I haven’t gotten the email but you know I am many hours away but just an email distance too.

    I am sooo happy for you!
    Love to you and Rebecca <3
    I miss you!

    1. Cris ~ we had a really productive weekend working on our book. It feels like a good thing to be doing. I think you are right about the idea that the Camino energy is keeping me alive and going. Interesting how this is all working out. Felipe.x

  2. well, it has only taken us 3 years to get back at this project. But I honestly think it will be better for it. I love the shape it has taken and the timing seems right.
