The Camino Gives What You Need, Not Necessarily What You Want!
This morning I departed from dear sweet Helen, Angela, and Alison. Kathy went her way a few days ago. Lifelong friendships were made for sure! You too Kathy and George!
What I wanted, was to magically make it turn out so we could all finish together and I be with people I d the whole way.
I wanted to finish with my entire Camino Family, but I know that what I really needed was some reflective time. I think I was avoiding it, so the Camino has given it to me! I will now hike alone, and have time to think and process and put all this into perspective.
I walked alone today and tomorrow I will be at Cruz de Ferro. It will be a very emotional day, but I really need to tackle this one on my own!
I missed my friends but we will see each other soon!
I walked into a great little town today; Murias de Rechevaldo. I am in a good Albergue and enjoyed chatting at dinner. Off to bed soon!
A mañana!
Pics from a sweet town!
KEEP WALKING!
Wise decision, Dan. You need the alone reflective time to make your journey as meaningful as you need it to be.
Enjoy,
Sylvia
Dan you have travelled so far and overcome many challenges. Carry on and enjoy. Really you aren’t alone if you remember your star and that others have been following you along .
Dan…when l walked to the Cruz in 2012…l walked by myself with my recorder on. This is still a part l have not been able to listen to.
It was painful, each step physically for sure since l was injured by then… but the biggest pain was in my heart and soul.
I left all that at the Cruz. .. and l have come to realize on this Camino. ..that is where it needs to stay.
I will erase the recording when l come home. ..unheard.
Ultreia my friend… it will be worth every ache you feel. ?
