Hello, I am Ketil (41) from Norway, waldorf teacher, walking my first camino from SJPP November 3. I am very grateful for this forum, read it every day. Why the Camino? I really don't know. I have a strange and growing longing for this walk, something I really have to do, even though few understand it, not even those close to me. Is it common this urge, and what is it? I was actually first inspired by
this medieaval Norwegian song, about Charlemagnes knight Roland as you know was killed in Roncevalles, according to the tale. I'm in bad shape. Hope my feet will hold, hope the way to change my life in some way I don't know yet, hope to be of help to someone along the road, hope to allow myself to be helped, and hope to heal the wounds after a recent loss. I will try to do it "unplugged", longing for a break from my iphone, inspired by some of the posters here. Best wishes to all of you out there walking, and thanks to you past pilgrims for sharing.
