OK, so has anyone had this experience? Am I nuts?
Felt the call 2008 waited it out and "the call" remerged about a month ago. Since then every day something providential like:
1st go to Rei to get fitted for boots, 3 sales staff never heard ot the Camino- the lady helping me is patient as I have no idea which shoes are best-she calls in reinforcement lady #2 then lady #1 comes back 1 hour later and tells me she never heard of the Camino but that there are now 2 others pilgrims in the store and she introduces us. A sister/brother..sis did it last year, brother left last weekend to do it (he just decided and was also looking for boots).
OK then I go get Chinese food- I hardly ever get "real" philosophical fortunes..but get this NOT KIDDING "a journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step" WHAT? followed by fortune #2 "Man does not plan to live, but just Lives"!
OK then Im wrapping things up at work (I counsel students) and this student stops by my office and tells me out of nowhere that there is an advanced Spanish class being offered for the first time this summer and the class is being taught using the Camino as the theme and point of conversation!
Then yesterday, I call an apartment listing on craigslist for a summer rental and the Lady asks me my plans etc, I tell her my situation and plan to walk the Camino...We wound up chatting on the phone for over 1 hour as she told me about her Camino in 2001 (today May 25 is her start date/ camino anniversary) and her trip to Assisi as well..We plan on meeting next week!
Not done yet. Then, I go to Dr. for annual visit, I am in the waiting room and there is an old AARP mag from 2009 with Antonio Banderas on cover, I start to breeze through and THERE IT IS a four page article on "The WAY". God is so good. :arrow: :wink:
