This is a post from my other site – Life is what happens – The Camino is calling.
Today was a difficult day. I had to work at being happy. Yesterday I walked 15kms with a group of pilgrims. The Camino has been calling. It starts quietly without pressure. I think March might be a good month. It’s vague; nothing has been formulated. Today I think that maybe I could go for three weeks and walk two 100kms segments. Walking makes me happy. I didn’t walk today but I thought about it, as I painted lawn ornaments and worked at ignoring the sadness in the world.
I found Mary Oliver’s poem. The one I quoted when I wrote about my Portuguese Camino. I think I have to create another chapter in my one wild and precious life, because doesn’t everything “die at last and too soon.”
I will also feed the rhododendrons now that they have finished……too soon.
Buen Camino
