[QUOTE="David, post: 167924, member: 426"] Good post! One attribute of the Camino, one of the gifts, perhaps the main gift - should one surrender to [I]The Way[/I] - is the removal of fear from the pilgrim ... to learn to live, day by day, and to take on whatever comes, knowing with certainty that one will cope and even enjoy, is a marvellous thing. That terrible fear which haunts so many people in this world - the fear of "but I don't know what happens next, how will I cope with it?" is removed and this changes one's life forever. True freedom - freedom to BE without fear - "consider the lilies of the field, etc" The Brierley is a fine guide, a great accompaniment for one's coffee table. It is the sort of thing that one reads when wanting to know more - but there are two things to remember .. if it was really made to carry on Camino it would weigh a fraction of what it does! and, the keyword here is 'guide' - it is a guide, not a manual, not a bible. Of course, countless people take it as their camino bible, and stay religiously - even fanatically - within the instructions ... such a shame ... the universe is out there, life is out there, unknowing is out there .... I agree with homa-bird - couldn't agree more. There are quite a few maps of the Camino .. these are handy as they show where one is in the landscape, mark buildings of interest (to the map makers remember) and have telephone numbers of the main refugios - which can make it easier to meet someone one has lost upon the way, I suppose. The Michelin 160 is rather fine - the Camino laid over real maps so that you can contextualise your journey. Small, light, with all the information one could actually need. [/QUOTE]
