Thank you.
I’m currently en Camino Frances and now preparing for the walk from Rabanal del Camino to pray at Cruz Ferro in the snow.
I recognise the process of Camino which you describe and I think the first 10 days of my Camino were establishing a new relationship with my body as it was...

I think being on pilgrimage isn’t a place or terrain- it’s an attitude
You are already on The Way brother and when the time is right for you, you’ll be on the Camino with the other fortunates

In Pune, (a work in progress)
My mother told me all about the Way of St James when I was a bairn, over 55 years ago. The seed she planted at that time has slowly grown from a vague idea into a reality which is nurtured by my faith.
