    lost photo journey site

    Doug Fantastic, that is the one, the same photos. I think they must have changed the layout. I'm feeling quite emotional after browsing this. (probably due to civilisational stress.) A godsend. Thank you.

    25 Habits of Successful and Happy People

    though I'm not massively outwardly successful I have to agree. I do all those things. And I'm happy with my lot.

    lost photo journey site

    I am fancying a virtual walk. some favourite days from the past. Many years ago, 10 or 20, I am not sure, there used to be a site on the net that had a day by day guide for quite a few camino journeys. You would click on a day and it would be a sequence of photographs from that day. Lots of...

    What is a pilgrim?

    I was a pilgrim. Now I am an online dilettante. Progress cannot be assumed.

    El Camino de 8 Compostelas- The Way of 8 Certificates

    my strongest memory evoked by your post is the Parador in Monforte de Lemnos. The cloistered interior glassed in and overlooking their cistern roof. And their church. We once spent a week there for a local wedding. If your choice of starting point is a consideration and you have a few...

    Avoiding the breakfast trap?

    Thanks for the info. It looks like it might be a good idea, I've been avoiding anything with added sugar or palm oil for a while. The industry is out to get you. I noticed that grapes are always very sweet in the UK. When they use previously healthy foods against you it feels like you are...

    Avoiding the breakfast trap?

    Sounds like instant obesity. Sign me up! Actually, don't. I am starting to struggle with sugar addiction and our toxic food environment. I feel I should be more careful in my commentary. With 60% of people overweight a more measured attitude would be more helpful.

    Avoiding the breakfast trap?

    I was once advised by a couple of Dutch professional pilgrims* to not worry, overmuch. Their view was clear, you can walk all day on a mars bar, people are much tougher than they think. It certainly hadn't stunted their growth. It's actually pretty sound advice. IMO. * they walked young...

    What to do about a proud tagger (a person who scrawls graffiti)

    Common decency and respect for property etc is absolutely the way our elites like it. They would be daft not to, when the richest 26 people in the world own more than the poorest 3.8 Billion. If we all had access to all those resources what would be the point of being a big cheese? You just...

    What to do about a proud tagger (a person who scrawls graffiti)

    You don't really understand the usage then. When people complain of the patriarchy it isn't about a bunch of men lording it over everyone else. It's a way to describe the frequently socially authoritarian setup of our communities. For example here we have Ivarr, moderators, various classes...

    What to do about a proud tagger (a person who scrawls graffiti)

    Monkey, ape, whatever, my point was about our natural social dynamics generally supporting a patriarchial dominance of outsiders and the less powerful. I am pleased to hear this forum is not here to condemn the nonconformists, the irreligious and/or hopefully the socially inept. The clique I...

    What to do about a proud tagger (a person who scrawls graffiti)

    I'm glad of your support. I thought I might be jumped on... Thanks. I think a lot of people just react, I don't think many of them when asked to analyse their annoyance would find it easy to source their motivations. I think we automatically follow our social programming, and want to keep in...

    What is the most unusual thing you have seen on any Camino?

    You can only hope he was waiting for his wife.

    What to do about a proud tagger (a person who scrawls graffiti)

    Graffiti may show a lack of respect for the community but we need to remember the context. We are monkeys. Evolved somewhat but still close. 98% common DNA. A troupe will be controlled by a small clique. There will be outliers that orbit the territory, want in, but not at any price. They...

    What to do about a proud tagger (a person who scrawls graffiti)

    I'm glad there is an undercurrent of tolerance on this thread. I too dislike the mindless marking of territory, but the signatures under the top bunk quietly gladden my heart.
