A moral is a lesson in a story or in real life. Can you sum-up your Camino in a moral? Please share if you wish to.
And the morals of my stories, my Caminos are…

First Camino: ‘I may want to follow my heart, but I should listen to my head too’
Camino Francés; retired Puerto la Reina, injured.

Second Camino: ‘The heart and mind might be willing, but don’t let your body be their slave’
Camino Francés: Completed with a crutch from Pamplona.

Third Camino: ‘Its not always the longest, hardest journeys that bring blessings. A blessing can be found in the blink of an eye, a strangers kind words and smile, a sentence, or in your enemies deeds’
Camino Inglés

Fourth Camino: ‘Equally so, listening is worth more than anything said’
Camino San Salvador
Camino Primitivo Lugo-Santiago.

Fifth Camino: Pre-Camino moral; ‘Always unexpected the expected’
Starts September 2019.

Camino Portugues, from Lisbon to Porto: "Don't walk by an opportunity when you see one!" (On the lack of frequency of the cafes!)

Pre-Camino, 2019, as the excitement builds: "Its like being a child again, at Christmas: you can see the presents under the Christmas tree but must wait to open them."

'Don't follow the pilgrim in front of you... follow the yellow brick arrows'
I told myself this on the last one... and guess what happened.

The journey is the destination.
