@april_pdx I am also in PDX and resonate with the sense of dissonance from having recently returned as well. Lmk if you’d like accompaniment, esp. walking & chatting to continue “unpacking” from the Camino. 🙏🏻✨
Love this, thank you for sharing, @David -Prior to my 17 yo son and I beginning our Camino in Astorga on June 14/15, I was carrying a lot of anxiety and worry about what might go wrong, especially in terms of the chronic illness I live with. The very first day, within an hour of getting off the...
