    Darkness into Light

    I think what you're describing is a sacredness that goes along with a group of people walking and reflecting on something meaningful. I also think your title for this thread "From Darkness into Light" is a metaphor for what can happen on the Camino. It feels like your walk this morning with...

    First Aid kit for helping other pilgrims

    First-aid must be defined within the context of the situation. First-aid in a large urban center is different than in a more remote rural setting. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and to choose their own method of dealing with blisters. If the blister sufferer gives their consent and no...

    Camino Calendar

    Up at the top of the page, do you see "Events"? Click on that and it will bring up the calendar. If you don't see it, or if you don't then get the calendar, it might be because of the browser you're using. Some people have been having difficulty especially with mobile devices. If you are...

    Selfish? Self Indulgent?

    An adult friend recommended to me three children's books which he thought had special wisdom for adults. One of those books was The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. It's about the hazards of giving too much of oneself, even when given with love, and how that can lead to such deep depletion...

    Dreaming while on the Camino

    I like Shirley MacLaine, but I find in her books, she always takes it tooooo far. I'm with her to a point, and then her beliefs go beyond that with which I'm comfortable. That's ok though. A person's religious or spiritual beliefs are exactly that, theirs.

    Dreaming while on the Camino

    Yes, I've read Shirley MacLaine, but I've read other memoirs where the authors said that they had very vivid dreams. It made me very curious. Some authors felt they were working things out, some felt it was a result of the pain. As a nurse practitioner, I think it also could be the pain...

    Dreaming while on the Camino

    I have read in a number of places about pilgrims having very vivid dreams while on the Camino. I've searched and can't find a thread specifically on dreams, so I wondered if anyone would like to share their experience with dreaming while on the Camino. I'm interested in what your dreams were...

    Camino Calendar

    Hi Terry, you entered your start date today. Under the message box there is a date and time when the "event" starts, and that is the Sept 5 date you must have. You can go back into April 21 and edit your event though and correct the date. You might also want to edit it to say "Terry leaves...

    Camino Calendar

    Mark, I put your June 1, 2014 date on the calendar. The only thing is that my picture is beside the entry. If you would like me to remove it, I will. Just let me know. Pennie

    I have solved the carrying water problem

    Great idea mikevasey! Then once we find the water, we can use our sporks to dig for it. I like the way you think! ;)

    I will do a talk about doing the camino, help requested

    I like the ideas you already have. I second Kanga's suggestion about the credential with the stamps. Be sure to take your shell and your Compostella. Maybe some talk about costs. Best of luck with your talk! :)

    When a total stranger makes your camino special

    Don't you need a stamped credential for any of the documents signifying completion of the pilgrimage, including the new distance certificate? I think the Compostella is symbolic of the pilgrimage, not more important but an official recognition. What a lovely keepsake. I think the young woman...

    How did you integrate your camino experience with daily life?

    We are all drawn to different things on the Camino. For some it's the spirit of community, for some it's the simplicity, for some it's the opportunity to explore deeper levels of their spirituality. For as many pilgrims as there are, there are reasons for walking. While on the Camino it's our...

    Do I really have to suffer to be a 'real' pilgrim? - A Camino enthusiast's dilemma

    "I haven't lost my temper in 40 years, but pilgrim you caused a lot of trouble........" (John Wayne in McClintock.) Maybe you have to cause trouble to be a pilgrim. Hmmmm...... Ok, maybe not. I'm just trying to figure this out too. ;)

    How to treat gear with Permethrin? / Do I need waterproof pack

    How long before I leave for the Camino should I treat my sleeping bag and backpack? In other words how long does it last on the items that aren't being washed?

    And you thought Peregrinos could whine

    Footek, I need to hear more about the pilgrim walking with the chicken. I just know there's a great story there.
