[QUOTE="Icacos, post: 165659, member: 20485"] Thank you, Aikidosteve, for putting this so beautifully; it is wonderful to read. Particularly so, because this past April after I’d started my Camino, I realized that there was to be a full moon towards the end of the month (the 25th I think) when my companions and I expected to be on the meseta. I couldn’t imagine anything more magical, [U]and soothing[/U], than walking in the open under a full moon, and I immediately put the idea to my companions – both women. I had serious plans to make this work. Alas, it was not to be. By the time the 25th rolled around, I had left my companions walking on the meseta, and gone ahead to Leon to nurse the tendinitis in my leg. (I doubt if my proposed walk would have come to pass anyway because, as I heard it, the weather on the meseta at that time was horrendous). It is so good now to read of your experience this past June. It would have been wonderful to have done this walk under the full moon – a 1:00 a.m. start sounds good. You speak of doing your walk in solitude, and “noticing and releasing the occasional fear”. Yes, solitude would be ideal, but I don’t think that, as a woman, I would feel at all comfortable heading out on my own at night, no matter how much light the moon provided. If I were to be fortunate enough to be on the meseta again during a full moon, or anywhere on the Camino for that matter, I wonder if there might be other like-minded, solo peregrinas who would relish the idea, and yearn to have a moon-lit walk, but who might fear being [U]completely[/U] alone out there. Perhaps we could agree to accompany each other, but still allow each her ‘space’, so each could have the ‘solitary’ experience. Are there other women out there who feel the same way I do? I know that pilgrims look after each other, but …… dare I ask you men if you would remain within shouting distance in such a situation? [/QUOTE]
