Past,present and future
Thanks for sharing your adventures!
This forum will be a touchstone someday in the future ..where you had gone and how far, from where and when
A Canterbery tales sort of snapshot in time.
The tales of ...of.....?
Go to where your name is written
Go...
Somewhere Else.
Not some door
Nor address
But in your place among the stars
Where the wild winds call your name
The world knows your name
Its the music in your head
The beat in your heart
The time in your steps...
Where you will swirl around the floor...
Did it make a difference in your short term, long term and lifetime?
Did it change your soul..or chain it forevermore to some dusty track in Spain
Are you in the ever present because of it, or are you still back..there....
I wonder how many,if any get caught up in the idea...or ideal of the Camino
To be sure it captured my imagination and reinforced by videos and pictures.
I am quick to seek and find the good in things.
But
Amidst all the opertunities..there would be walking, sweat,footsore ness
Hard time sleeping...
Always one step behind
Its the road that you take all alone
You stepped out the door
And i wont follow no more
We wached you fade in silence
We watched you fade away
The light in your eyes grown dim
You fades so fast
With no time to share
We know you were loved
You know that we cared
But...
Blind Faith
Faith wont be blind, it merely sees that which is not true, and moves you toward the greater truth
guarding you when your gone
Its not giving something to believe in because thats not the truth
The wind blows you west
The push as real as the summer meadows kiss
It will carry your...
Some may walk to remember
Some may walk to forget
Some may walk to remember kindness
Some may walk to forget regret
Some may walk in grace
Some may remember the fall and want to erase the trace
Some will walk in kindness
Some will walk in place, a never ending coil, an never ending toil,the...
I wonder how things would have been during midieval times for cold pilgrimages
We have ECWG that rivals space suit technologies
V. Wool,fur and plant fiber tech.
I would like to imagine my distant ancestors from NE Spain..ish area would have have an irresistable pull westward..and being my...
Sweet wine of sleep
Deep and full of promise,forgetfullness and longing for intoxication from the river lethe
One to cut the ties of wakefull attachement
One to weigh the day
One to whisper the deep dreams
The Fates call for sleep...
Where will I find myself tonite
Some far off day
Some far...
Ide like to imagine some pilgrim took to the Way..went out the door and never looked back and....
Just kept going.
Kinda like that Gump fellow.
Reached the "end" of that road, turned and went another way and somewhere...
Out there...
One day you meet eyes with a raisin of a Peregrino and...
Seemingly a blink in the eyes of the universe...
Where the lives of sun,moon and aeons are breathless sighs..endless finite lives.
One blink and then goodbye milky way as she turns into Andromeda Regis a stellar collision among the others
5 billion years and and a new constant born.
All the...
That i would wonder forever with burning wanderlust.
To be away..somewhere in time,space and place to satisfy some deep and abiding hunger..hunger, such a small word..ravenous and unending...burning..needful as the ground under snow awaiting sunlight.
To hold nothing beside me all the while but...
Was walking a local park trail and there were many cats...many cats that i needed to pet.
If there are Cats on the Camino then it may take a while to complete...
One cannot simply pass by a cat and not pssp pssp and pet it.
Carry on!
Not a pointy finger by any means.
I wonder sometimes if there will be a point of saturation on the Camino.
When every picture taken at every angle and every seasons hour of...XYZ on Camino X...and Y..or Z.
Will people have vicariously lived every magic through descrition,photo and video?
My...
I live about 50 kilometers or so from the ocean..so when i showed up today for work after talking to a buddy about his Vegas wedding, me wanting to go to shoot said wedding and other stuff...
Looking down and I saw this in the parking lot.
I work surrounded by agricultural fields
Serendipitous...
As the last dregs of 2021 tick away
Let us slip on the tide toward a new horizon and let the furled sails catch the sure wind
Cut the surly anchor and let the wastland fall behind and follow the silver on the oceans toward the new lands
Let all the cast away things on the road behind...
Is it? Is it finding whats over the hill and around the rivers bend. Did you find what your looking for?
All roads go somewhere
No road goes nowhere...
Did you pick up some souvenirs along the way
Did you find your voice
Was your breath taken away?
Looking out windows was not the same as...
