One of the things the Camino teaches is is not to give a tinker's curse about things that don't matter, and how few of those there really are. One of the joys it gives us is watching your fears gradually transform into joyous insouciance ... In...
Sounds wonderful 😍. Love your description and reassuring words for others. I’m deliberately walking more slowly and gently these days … it’s so enjoyable. Buen camino @good_old_shoes 😎
