    Thanks David for asking - suitable question indeed.

    The Camino Addict ARK Project

    yes, an interesting day dream. it has to start somewhere, right? and it is usually with envisioning something (ideally under no influence of any outside 'substances' or inner 'splits') and then obeying the time'n'space realities to make it into something more concrete and livable. so it starts...

    Racial discrimination on the Camino

    Ignorance has no monopoly as to race , location , social class, etc. You will find humans with fear and resulting devisions in their heart everywhere.... and who act accordingly. Ages ago, traveling alone in India, people have thrown stones at me a couple of times. I might have been the first...

    Advice for a "Type A" personality to fully enjoy my Camino?

    Wouldn’t this be due to expert training and experience? Then one is well eqipped to go with a flow... Just simple perfectionism does not cut it. No pun intended. Plenty of those around ... I had surgeons whomi trusted because of good training and expertise/ experience. Lacking that...where would...

    Leaving family behind...guilt? How did you manage saying goodbye?

    something to look forward to for sure ... great idea to spend a birthday walking with a friend. and if you manage ... chuck out that guilt. highly useless emotion (different from remorse, i dare say). guilt does not accomplish anything. and.... stuff will happen if you are there or if you are...

    Sauntering, not hiking

    thank you for the reminder and the 'a la sainte terre' - did not know that one. very well described/expressed. now if we'd only realise that wherever we set foot on is holy land. (and treat the land accordingly....) last year in the fall, i had the pleasure to be saundering on the John Muir...

    What is this with this camino-ing???

    Miss - it's not a disease ... it's a Blessing. and with certain 'things' in life - it's not if we are done with it, but is "it" done with us :) as so very often, we flatter ourselves into believing that we are calling 'the shots'. - you just have noticed that it is indeed otherwise in many...

    When you realize that the Camino IS your comfort zone

    "....It makes me sad when people see the Camino as just another kind of holiday, as escapism, as a parallel world that is not real. It's there, it's real. It is walked by real people with real lives and real emotions, and for many it has a very real impact on their lives. Why trivialise that...

    When you realize that the Camino IS your comfort zone

    "Life is Camino." period. full stop. Also when I move into a flat, a home ... I will leave again, at one point, sooner or later. Just as on the camino, I come, I move on. Also when I start a new job ... I will leave again, at one point, sooner or later ... I always felt like a traveler in this...
