What is the "Spirit of Camino" for you?
I've been writing again on the Forum for the last few days and I see the diversity that adorns the Camino. It brings back memories of my three Caminos and what I felt as the "Spirit of Camino". On the first Camino I was 67, last year on the third Camino I was 72. Which means I have life experience and can see the changes the Camino has brought me. The changes were caused by the "Spirit of Camino". something that we cannot experience in our everyday life. But what we felt on the Camino we can take home.
For me, "The spirit of Camino" is:
Love - love for pilgrims, for nature, for snails in the Pyrenees, to hug a tree, smell the flowers
Freedom - freedom of choice, when and how much I will walk, where I will walk, with whom I will talk, where and what I will eat
Albergues - togetherness in sleeping, washing clothes, hygiene, dinner with unknown people who become your friends at that dinner, community in washing dishes
After Camino, my outlook on life changed, for the better.
