Buen Camino, SY

 

[Tio Huero]

Brevity.

 

[HedaP]

I agree, me too. In addition, I think there are cultural differences as well as the inherent problems associated with written communication.

Wah, the original post has changed so I'm changing my response too in keeping with what I thought I was replying to.

Edit: Hola, hello, ann-yeong-haseyo, konnichiwa, bonjour, hallo.

Online interaction lack facial/vocal expression and sometimes Smileys are not enough - I go first:

I have Adult Attention Disorder. I am very good in rapidly reacting to threads, but a long-winded discussion taxes my ability to concentrate.

Buen Camino, SY

Ergo: no War and Peace posts for you.

 

[FamPed]

(Respond to original post, Before SYates altered it:Therefore I Think it is importent to be as goodwilling and nice as man can be when interpret the different post . But, I have to admit that it isn´t allways the easiest thing to do ... and sometimes I just don´t get it .
And to you @SYates , thank you for this thread. )

SY, this is for you, then. There are six word writing contests, often "short stories" or memoirs. The most famous is Hemingway's "For Sale, baby shoes. Never Worn." So how about a six word Camino short story? No long-winded discussions!

"I ran away by walking slow."

I love this idea!

I recently walked the Portuguese camino with my 12 year old daughter, describing it in 6 words would have to be:

Surprised Dad, gutsy kid, very proud.

 

[Jimmy dublin]

Unprecedented, unpredictable, unprepared, understanding, unresistable, underestimated,,, and I will be only doing my first one in September,,, had to wait until I was mature enough,,, ( 63.)

 

[jgpryde]

One foot in front of another

Exactly. That was my mantra in the harder parts! Thx.

 

[Marc S.]

What's the point of reaching Santiago ?

 

[Peter Fransiscus]

Keep calm and just keep walking .

Less is more, yes we can.

 

[mspath]

"There's a long, long trail a-winding..."

 

[OzAnnie]

Walk to Santiago and find yourself

 

[Robo]

Searching for Him. Found me too.

 

[FamPed]

Believe, Walk, Relax, Enjoy, Success.


Edit: My first Word had fallen of...
Plan, Believe, Walk, Relax, Enjoy, Success

 

[Robo]

Seeking Meaning. Discovering Humanity. Finding Truth.

 

[nycwalking]

Searching for my baby found God.

 

[Rebekah Scott]

This camino won't walk itself

[donalomahony]

Walk, Wash, Sleep, Enjoy, Sleep, Repeat.

 

[trecile]

It's just walking. Go for it.

 

[Rich1]

Joy. Wonder. Happiness. Pain. Misery. Joy. Understanding.

 

[Rich1]

Above. Joy twice. Six different words.

 

[GettingThere]

From Pyrenean ponies to Galician cows!

 

[Purky]

"Why do you walk?"
"I forgot..."

 

[GettingThere]

How do I...? Just go. Walk.

 

[kelleymac]

Fellowship. Food. Prayer. Walking towards Christ.

Too long by 33% and not original, this comes from a tourism advertisement for the state of Maine but fits the camino state of mind:

I am living in each step I take.​

 

[Houlet]

Planned - Came - Walked - Loved - Left - Returned

 

[Felipe]

"Don't dream your life, live your dreams".
I suppose it does not qualify, bcs the extra word, but when I saw it (in an albergue, in Boadilla, in my first pilgrimage), I thought it was exactly what I was feeling.

 

[Duncan Idaho]

I came I saw I walked

 

[Simon Shum]

Love, kindness, respect, Camino de Vida!

 

[D'Nan Dean]

It was awesome! I'm going back!

 

[SYates]

Lost in wonder, found in life.

 

[NicP]

Walking, thinking, smiling, listening, feeling good.

 

[natefaith]

DANG I HAVE GOT TO PEE.

But really....

Sacred moments come as I walk.

 

[jgpryde]

Started long before SJPDP,
Hasn't ended.

[Purple Backpack]

Bag packed. "Now what?" she wondered.

 

[Theatregal]

With each step the unknown ahead.

 

[Archon]

Be the Tortoise, not the Hare.

 

[Purky]

The only way out is through

(borrowed from Robert Frost)

 

[Peter Fransiscus]

Walk , check in , shower , eat , sleep.

Buen Camino, SY

Silence is golden

 

[Icacos]

Speak only to improve the silence.

 

[SYates]

Two ears listening, one mouth speaking.

 

[Finisterre]

early morning gorillas in the mist

 

[Vicky97]

This was the plan: we walked.

 

[Ric]

Received ice, mint, foot bath, unrequested!

 

[JohnMcM]

Ten percent rule, I'm no fool.

Walk in hope, hope to walk.

Find new friends and walk alone.

At day's end be a friend.

 

[Sheesh]

First time: "What the heck was I thinking?"

Second time: "Don't think so hard about it."

 

[nycwalking]

The only way out is through

(borrowed from Robert Frost)

Oh boy, you got that right.

 

[Mike Savage]

God bless all pilgrims. Buen camino!

"I think I can, I Did"

 

[SusanPaulus]

Mine 6 happen the be Spanish C words.

Cafe, Contaseña, (la)Cuenta, Cagar, Caminar, Corazón.

 

[SYates]

@SusanPaulus Both your second and fourth word are missing an 'r', no problem in the case of the second, but quite a different meaning (which I doubt you have intended!) in the fourth ... Buen Camino, SY

 

[JanedS]

Found the love of my life...

 

[Deleted member 29041]

Arriving in Santiago was a letdown

Always preparing for the next camino

Back home, waiting to go again

Been there, done that, want more

Arrived Santiago, done walking, feel empty

Been home too long. Camino upcoming

Walking is the goal, not Santiago

Camino: miss wife. Home: miss camino

-
De har lyttet til Frådende Vanvid

 

[SusanPaulus]

@SusanPaulus Both your second and fourth word are missing an 'r', no problem in the case of the second, but quite a different meaning (which I doubt you have intended!) in the fourth ... Buen Camino, SY

Lol! Thanks...I did miss the r in the second word but I didn't miss it in the fourth. That's exactly what I meant

 

[Jill81]

By going out, I went in.

 

[SYates]

And a variant on the original '6 words novel'.

Pilgrim shoes, heavily worn, not for sale. (ok, one word too many ...)

Buen Camino, SY

 

[domigee]

When spotting a cafe in the distance and wondering whether to stop (again )...., this famous saying applies:

'It would be rude not to '

 

[Purple Backpack]

@SusanPaulus Both your second and fourth word are missing an 'r', no problem in the case of the second, but quite a different meaning (which I doubt you have intended!) in the fourth ... Buen Camino, SY

I learned a new word!

 

[mlhhome]

I left my heart in Santiago

"I ran away by walking slow."

@Purple Backpack, in your signature you almost have: Losing my mind; finding my soul.

Onto the trail I go
To lose my mind and find my soul.

[Peter Fransiscus]

When nobody goes left go right

Wish you well, Peter.

 

[Reija]

So glad to walk this life. // So glad to live this walk.

 

[Kanga]

Went beyond and found rapture.

 

[clearskiescamino]

Oh no, I've lost my credencial

 

[clearskiescamino]

Live for every step you take

Camino Angels Looked out for me!

 

[Michael Gray]

Marc Grossman of Camino Downunder gave this advice in a workshop before my first Camino in 2015:

"Less is more; More is misery."

So true!
