In preparation for my first (although that suggests there may be others , and that's highly unlikely) Camino Ingles, I have been devouring every scrap of information from peregrinos, books and as many other sources, so I'm fully aware and ready. Is this normal?
Oh man oh man, that is hilarious. I talk to people and say, yes, I am still checking the forum and I love reading pilgrim posts and contemplating and learning and thinking and I think of the Camino on the subway (was at a High School Open House on the Upper West Side of Manhattan tonight, and on the subway home, I found myself musing about the Camino and how there is no route cost, and how there is no route donation, etc., I don't know why I was thinking about it, but I was thinking about what means (income/comfort)someone has to have to do a/the/some Camino). So you know, the Road lives with me, and I found myself telling a friend on Sunday night, that my spiritual journey was private because I, well, was not ready to share in the loud kid-friendly pizza joint we were in.... You know, you live a Camino and it becomes part of your language and your relationship (in my case with my son and even tho my husband was not there, with him too). It's sort of feels like being baptized in a very cognizant way...I've been Camino-tized in whatever way that means for me. There will be reflective journeys of the mind to come, even if the feet do not go there. Enjoy! y Buen Camino! Teresa
