It's kind of hard to tell if the camino has changed me or not.
I am writing about it, I am thinking about it constantly, I am longing to go back, I have a deep love about it inside of me. Nice clothing does not mean as much as it used to do. Or spending money on things I don't really need...
- Caminando, you gave good information about the poem, and if you know more I'd appreciate it if you would share it with us :)
- Ivar, it's true, misunderstandings will happen once in a while, even with those who speak the same language ... :)
May be it's you, Caminando.
I am not sour.
I did not mind your answer.
I liked being informed of the fact you gave, cause I did not know the poem has been there for 20 years. I added a smile hoping to be understood right. My answer was not meant sarcastic if that's what you mean.
I realize...
So that's how it the other credential look like... Thanks sillydoll for showing it.
I rather like it.
Maybe I should say I did not walk for spiritual reasons the next time I get to Santiago, just to have both?
But that would be a lie. Allthough that's what people do all the time, isn't it?
Oh, thanks Johnnie, - how very interesting to get to learn that... :)
As I say above, I have often wondered about that poem on the wall. And never forgot it.
I have put the picture of the poem to my avatar so you all can see it and may be recognize it, and finally taken the time to write it down from the photo. I like it! :)
Here we go:
I
Polvo, barro sol y lluvia
es Camino de Santiago
Millares de peregrines
y mas de un millar de años
Peregrino...
When walking in 2008, between Navarrete and Najera, I came across a poem written in Spanish on a wall along the way. It was very easy to spot. Don't know if it's still there, but I'm gonna look for it as I'll be walking on the same place in a couple of weeks time.
Does anybody know its origin...
