Stepping out of time

I walked the first part of my route from Vezelay to Perigueux between June and July this year. I wrote about my experience here: https://advantagesofage.com/note-gentleman-walking-retirement/

Thank you for your [well-written] report. We were born to walk, we were born to dream. Good luck, y que la luz de Dios alumbre su camino.

Thank you for the link. Be sure to continue. You have a refreshing, light and evocative style which made me want to keep reading.

The pilgrim blessings do that to me every time and I’m not a lapsed catholic or even catholic at all! Why does that happen? There has to be something about the camino that scrapes away the layers.
Looking forward to the next chapter. Hope you keep us posted.
Bon chemin

Excellent reading. I hope to do a second camino next year. I did the first part of the Norte last year and second half on the French which I didn't like anywhere near as much as the Norte. Is the camino you walked pretty? hilly? I like challenges.

Thank you for that, lovely piece of writing.

I always enjoy the two cents you add to so many posts..."scraping away the layers", I love that!

Very nicely written piece. I especially related to your trepidation as you related your feelings of your final days at home and first days on the trail. If I was the gifted writer that you are, I would have written those exact words to describe the uncertainty I felt early on.

Thanks all for your nice comments. I will continue my walk ... in my own time. Possibly another section this year or early next. I like knowing that it’s there, waiting for me to dive back in.
