Larazet...it goes without saying that cancer can and has been a game changer in many a person...young and old.
It can also be said, that the Camino is an equal opportunity blesser.
You are blessed the first time you hear of the Camino; because it begins a process of evaluation: a). IS this something that's right for me? b). Can I make it right now...or do I need to reorganize my life before I reorganize my pack? c). Will I meet new friends, or will I walk in solitude? Remembering those back home, those I've just met and, those I hope to meet again. d). Will I be the same person when I return home? Can I finally put "happy" back into my lexicon, or will I substitute "really happy?"
Walking with the one you love; sharing whatever the Camino brings...will open new chapters in your life together...and possibly close those chapters best left in the past.
Although we may not cross paths, though I would be blessed if we did; may I suggest you bring with you a small jar of mustard seeds that you can sow as you make your Way to Santiago. A few seeds here...a few seeds there. Over the years, some will take root and a beautiful golden mustard tree will grow to mark your passing and light the Way for those yet to make their decision to walk the Camino.
God Bless,
Arn
