I'm sorry to hear this news. I read, used and watched many of John's guides. However what I am left with the most, is his own story of how he felt 'called' to write guide books - which he did in abundance! A very kind and soulful man. Thank you for listening to and following your Spirit John...
My last post didn't work (not very tech savy with my phone). What I was trying to say was looks like there's a few virtual camino/ walking at home threads on this forum so don't want to double up - maybe we can join them?
By the way - thanks everyone for the humour threads too - love that...
Great, so let’s share our insights on our local walks. I’m doing the same - I have a beautiful natural reserve near me. I usually walk through this, to the local cafe - but alas - cafes have closed in Melbourne Australia now. I can still get a take away cafe con leche!
ok, so first steps - St Jean PdP. What's our memory from there that's relevant for life today? For me, my memory of being at SJPdP was one of dream come true. I'd dreamed of walking the camino for about 15 years before having the opportunity to actually do it. It was the last thing on my...
So, let's get creative in these challenging times. Let's take a particular experience from our 'real' camino's and reflect on how this can help our current circumstances. For example - packing our backpacks- what do you really need now at this time? In my virtual backpack at this time I...
Thanks MarkyD. I remembered my mum a lot too while I was walking as she had also passed away about 5 years before. Glad to hear my poem enabled you to release a little more.
I've got a whole book of Camino Frances poems...the Meseta has just been my mood lately. I love it too - even though it's a long hard slog sometimes :)
I just noticed a few typos in my original post (so that's an OP right?)...should read 'a poem I wrote a while ago'. Anyway, that's what happens when one is Camino reminiscing in a cafe on one's phone!
Hi everyone
It’s been a year now since returning from my Camino and it’s largely felt like the meseta of my life. I’m curious how your ‘after’ experience is so please feel free to share. Here’s a poem I write a while ago...
Meseta
Some say you are boring
Or too challenging
And actively avoid...
love this quote...I never though of this being a 'virtual albergue' ...and yes, now I'm back home and at work, it's very much about the camino of life.
Thanks for sharing your blogs and suggestions everyone. I'm taking a leap to add mine. (It's scary being an introvert!) I'd love to be able to reverse the order but the Wix program I'm using doesn't have that feature (I agree this would be much better for readers)
Robo: I've appreciated your...
