All these wonderful memories and remarkable ease of pilgrimage in low season.
I have all ways felt surge of joy meeting fellow walkers after solitude… so...
As a repetive peregrino I have NEVER been asked if I am Catholic or Lutheran or …..
(((There is also discrepancy in other aspects of collective statistics I personally have insecurities around)))
Ultreia🙏🏼!
Detachment from expectations and experiences is a big one….shared and personal….
Open mind and a free spirit we all have…
… if choosing to set it all free….
Ultreia🙏🏼
We all have …a frame of mind…and…a frame of physique….
Sometimes the two blend into rare and conflicting experiences not to bee fully explained or understood…
You don’t need a hiking buddy….just now…
Your potential life long friends from around the world will bee on path along you….
…..and you will find each other ….strike a chord somewhat and off you go….
There is a mantra ; “the Camino provides”
With lesser expectations it opens up even more…...
Patience and alternative plans is my take on it......it will sort itself out for all of us🙏🏼
((P.S. Vaccine Passport is something of huge value in my reckoning....will not travel without it...))
Here’s one happy and in good health. It was a privilege meeting him
Everyone I’ve met has had different backgrounds but I think it’s a hard life some years down the line. By choice is one thing....beeing forced is a whole different specter of complexity....Unfortunately......
My plan is to have no plan.....taking it day by day....concentrating especially strong on what the body tells me with it’s timid voices....especially the feet....pulling back the first two weeks....live by the fact that restitution is king....whoever, whenever and whatever🤭
A camino is, also after an adaptive process of approx 14 days......everything but everyday life....
(I’ve done many longer Caminos now so the repetitive pattern is experienced based)
But you mention “simplified” and that’s important and brings value in understanding transformative force behind...
You do you.....and you know you
One thing though.....your confidence is given gains through any physical challenge....that is my understanding of what you write....and as long as you not mistake this to replicate what is needed in situ....that is just fine👍
Beeing able to finely tune in on...
I do experience that we, as fellow pilgrims , in support of eachother, endure any hardship that we are able to...within the realm of our own personalities and level of composure...
So there is no why......we are simply able....
BUT.....and this ones a biggie.....how many pilgrims stop and quit...
