    Spiritual preparation

    Grabbed a book off my shelf this morning (The Soul of a Pilgrim by Christine Valters Paintner); purchased over a year ago but had not read it. Anyway, I opened to a beautiful poem at the beginning: "How to be a Pilgrim" Air travel is like ancient pilgrims walking on their knees, flight delays...

    Spiritual preparation

    I am so overwhelmed with emotion at all of the beautiful posts! It's been a few days since I posted and snce I did so I have felt sort of a "switch" in my thinking. I have always been a "seeker" looking to find meaning in life and ways to deal with challenges. I'm an avid reader and have always...

    Spiritual preparation

    Yesterday I had my monthly meeting with my spiritual director. I told her that I had booked my flight for the Camino for this coming June. She then asked me "why are you doing it" (walking the camino). I could not come up with an answer right away because I have not spent enough time really...

    Explaining the camino

    I've been thinking a lot about this all week. I've just kind of come to the conclusion we are all on a solo journey in life. Yes there are others in our life at various degrees of closeness who cross our paths for a day or a lifetime but ultimately we are on our own. For me it is a spiritual...

    Explaining the camino

    As I read the replies (thanks to everybody!) I think maybe part of my thoghts and feelings have to do with what I think about myself. I think subconsciously or even consciously I am saying to myself: What are you doing? Are you crazy? Can you really do it? Maybe what I've been looking for in...

    Explaining the camino

    Thanks for the feedback. It's nice to feel I'm not alone. I will look into a local group. When I mentioned I was going to do th camino to my spiritual director she told me another member of her community did it this past summer. I'm looking forward to corresponding with her. Blessings and...

    Explaining the camino

    Has anyone else had the experience of trying to explain your plans to do the camino and getting a response of "Oh, that's nice" and give you a look like you've lost your marbles??? It is frustrating and a bit sad. I feel so alone and am so glad to have this forum where there are other people...

    Great inspirational passage

    "It is not the actual physical exertion that counts towards a man's (or woman's - my addition) progress, nor the nature of the task, but by the spirit of faith with which it is undertaken" St. Francis Xavier Blessings and Buen Camino

    Donating gently used gear/clothing

    I had such a quick, wonderful response to my post regarding some free clothing I had. So many responses so I tried to share with as many as I could. Maybe you can go thru your gear and see what can be donated to a pilgrim. It's a good feeling to help out!:) Blessings and Buen Camino! Jen
