The sellos on my Credentials are to me a very personal art form. I find it impossible to look at them without evoking strong memories and feelings. My Compostelas remind me of the joy I experience when entering the Pilgrim's office and sharing the love there. With my journal and my photographs I can relive the pleasure and pain, the people and the places. These all remind me the vital place the Camino has had and continues to have in a greater journey in life.
The picture in my mind of the tomb and of the peace found praying in front of it needs no such physical reminder but that does not detract from the function the others play in my life.
People travel the Camino for many reasons, from many places and in many ways. They often find something new in themselves and about themselves whether starting with a sense of religion, spirituality or otherwise. I hope that all who travel gain as much or even more than I from their own experiences and that of others. To paraphrase the words of Frank Sinatra "They do it their way". May that way provide.
