So Pilgrim
You worry about when and where and why

Incessantly
Instantly
Indubitably...

May be parts of your life..in parts ...of your Life you have done the same.

Yet here you are.

There is reason in nothing
For some
Nothing...is a reason

No
Direction
No
Space
No...
Why

But you are not
Have not been standing still all this time..

No..you have been moving along
Here and there
To
And Fro
Ups and downs

Life.

Santiago.. I think may have looked into your life
And decided at some point..
Now I will launch you
Throw you
Set you free

And so like a Butterfly...
You launched out into the wide world

And now you may be at the airport
At St.Jean Pied de Port
One step away from Santiago de Compostella after taking wing and going here and there
To
And fro
Up and down so long ago

Its not when
Nor where

Or why

But all that matters is that you are ...

accept
the ambiguity

do not fear
the uncertainty

the experience you have planned
will not happen

instead, something even better
will bless you
like a butterfly
landing on your shoulder
or a sunbeam
brightening one hill
on a cloudy day

do not regret the absence
of people you know
new friends on a similar journey
with open hearts
await you

leave the unneeded behind
the fear
the shame
the competition

a new life lies before you
pilgrim
walk on
