It is like I want to return to my real home. Have you had that feeling :?:
grayland said:.......yes.......
This happens all the time; with me too. It was amazing.mikevasey said:..sometimes on the camino the things that you need or are thinking about present themselves to you.
I have visited Rebekah once, because I wanted to give her a small gift in return for her givings to the Camino society.Rebekah Scott said:Alex
Please come to Moratinos right away, we need your kind of help with our next camino project!!
(I am not kidding.)
alexwalker said:I know that in some ways, I can make a difference.
You are truly very right Mike: If one is able to pay back why shouldn't he/she :?: I have a lot to thank the Camino for. I will say with Luther: "Here I stand. I can do no other. May God help me".mikevasey said:I think this question you are asking is basically 'Should I or shouldnt I'. I think you know the answer to this, but as with most of us its the upheaval and uncertainty that hold us back
John I full respect what you say, but I don't think there are caminos all around us, and that is why I hope to have a chance to walk again. For me, that rhythm of walking for so many days in the countryside was very precious. It was 'possible' for me to do as there was good infrastructure in terms of places to stay and eat. Though they are developing a long distance track here at home, it is very remote in places, doesn't pass close to towns or villages, and is quite rugged and mountainous in places. So it's not a route I think I could do alone.johnBCCanada said:I suspect there are caminos alll around us. John

I suspect there are caminos alll around us.
I think that was what I was trying to say by starting this thread. Well formulated (Said by a non-English person...!).mikevasey said:...i feel the need to be connected to them until i realise this is no longer needed---
alexwalker said:Well formulated (Said by a non-English person...!).
mikevasey said:Would love to say some big wise words that would help you on your way, but im not very good at stuff like that, so take my hearts friendship and goodwill.
alexwalker said:Where is your heart... And do you want to walk with me (anonymos; A pilgrim who is walking and thinking).
The blessing of retirement :lol: Thanks.Nandy61 said:so pleased that you are "going for it" in such a short window of time.

...at least if you walked all the way with your backpack, appreciated the daily challenges of the path, the "camaraderie" with fellow pilgrims, the bed (or "colchoneta") in the "albergues", the pilgrims' curses (muscle pain, blisters, snorers, etc.), the beauty of nature, the exquisite churches (avoiding the "Rosary" ladies..) and the final realization that we can do with so little for such a long time yet feel happy.Arn said:...the Camino "moment" isn't quite homesickness, it's a feeling, tied to a realization that something is missing. What that something is...only you know! Arn

Arn said:Well, the thought was there, but when I tried to voice the words...I nearly choked up.
That's when Johnnie jumped in with..."there, that's a Camino moment!"

The responses from everyone confirms that this is a universal feeling that we all experience. I thought that I would never, ever adjust to life after the Camino, but it does get easier, although I am sure that longing to be back on the road never leaves you; it just becomes less intense, but then, when you read the messages on the forum from pilgrims who are either on the camino, or about to begin it, those feeling of longing begins all over again and right now, if I had the funds and could take the time off work, I would jump on the first plane back to Madrid and even walk in the snow. In the meantime, I have Sylvia (Sillydoll's) hospitalero course to look forward to so that I can give something back when I do my next camino in 2012.aysun said:Hi!
maybe thats what i feel now, longing and want to go back. I did my first camino from lepuy and finished in Finesterra. I been at home now for about 3weeks started working, and try to settle down. But i feel lost and its has been very difficult to find rest in me. It feels like nobody understands and i feel very bad not only because nobody understand but also because it has been very difficult to do the everyday things. Maybe i have unfinished the way............
Anybody who have done the camino more then one time how was it for you to came back home to the real life.
i know that iam not in right topic here but i couldn´t find any.
thanks for all advice
