My ethical dilemma regarding a compostela

What does the camino mean to you?
The Camino for me is exactly what it says, it's a path. There is freedom in every step for me. Nothing magical happens on arrival anywhere, necessarily. It is the journey itself, not the brass ring at the end of the trail. The ongoing reality of processing the experience, step by step...- j3Othon
