    Being a Christian on the Camino

    I think you would also enjoy the cloud of unknowing by Thomas a Kempis it was written in the 14th century but is still an easy read and is very helpful in developing the virtue of meekness, with which almost over half of the book is concerned, and on refocusing the direction of our hearts on...

    Any etymologists want some fun?

    Samhain is an old Irish Gaelic Celtic word. Other Celts pronounce it differently like in In Scottish Gaelic, the autumn festival is called Samhuinn. In Manx it is Sauin.The Celts believed that the passage of a day began with darkness and progressed into the light. The same notion explains why...

    Loss of muscle tone

    They say a week in bed if you are ill you will lose 1kg of muscle. If you are older you may never regain that muscle mass. Perhaps you have only lost tone If I dont ride my bike at least twice a week I feel that my legs and butt dont feel half as tones as they should be. Just an observation.

    I am not a "Camino pilgrim"

    I think what began as an exclusive Catholic pilgrimage in the 11th and 12 th centuries the Camino has evolved especially since the paths were opened up again in the early 80's. The fundamentals of the Camino is still Catholic in ethos and nature and that can never be taken away. I think the...

    I am not a "Camino pilgrim"

    Non religious indeed but God knows what seed that may have been sown that later bears fruit in their lives. I am always reminded that God works in hidden and diverse manners everywhere and that he constantly invites us in all manners and guises.We are never forced but invited and who knows the...

    I am not a "Camino pilgrim"

    Not sure that everybody agreed with all JillGats sentiments,we were just admitting it was a point of view. I think she was only expressing her own opinion that the' magic of the Camino is an illusion'. We all see things diferently, not necessarily radically. Some have a stong faith some are in...

    I am not a "Camino pilgrim"

    Thank you for a very thought provoking piece. Your view is as valid as the next person and you are dead right about awareness.How many of us actually live in the present moment? We spend too much of our lives wishing it away, in my humble opinion. One often hears people say " I can't wait for...

    When did you feel your camino began? Ended?

    I have done many stages on different Camino routes and what initially brought me to the Camino was my brother. He promised himself when he became a cancer survivor that he would do it and asked me and my brother to join him along with his brother in law. I have been hooked ever since and for me...

    Early Morning Pilgrims - Suggestion

    Just be sure Pilgrims in a half dozed state dont think they are in another establishment if they see that red light:D:D:D:D:eek::eek:;)

    What's out...there

    Very nice William very deep and thought provoking I really like reading insights like this. I thought from your initial banner headline 'whats out there' were you contemplating alien life? You may have encountered some on your previous Camino's but not life as we know it Jim;)
