LIVE from the Camino Emotional arrival

[anna pugh]

Finally here. I know I haven't walked the million miles other have.. but for me it has been an achievement, which at several points I thought I'd give up; the camino seemed never ending. . And perhaps it isn't.

Congratulations, Anna!! Please forget the comparison: your journey is no small thing.

And perhaps it isn't.

You'll see!

Gracias!

Way to go!!

perhaps the Camino is Rilke-like: you will have to live the question now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.

Haha.. no.. this was enough of a pilgrimage. It took nearly 60 years to need this much penance. .

 

[domigee]

Well done !

 

[Magwood]

Isn't it a wonderful feeling. And I have to warn you that I thought I would never desire to walk another Camino after completing my first CF. I am shortly to set off on my forth Camino. Congratulations.

 

[NualaOC]

Congratulations Anna - that's a great achievement. Hope you enjoy your time in Santiago.

 

[anna pugh]

Well done !

GRACIAS x

Congrats! The distance isn't important, it's the journey.

 

[anna pugh]

However I've passed through some beautiful places I may need to return to with more time to properly enjoy. All in all I feel overwhelmed.. both by the camino/my journey (horrid hackneyed phrase).. and the glory of Santiago

 

[SabsP]

Yeuh!!! happy dance.

 

[anna pugh]

Oh something I have learned... when you're wearing your headphones don't dance like a crazy person because although you haven't seen another person for an hour , there's bound to be a whole troupe of school kids looking at you ....

Tehe ! When the going was tough I used to say 'I must sin some more to make this suffering worth it' or something like that

Congratulations!! Your words really ring so true with me, it's something I certainly thought when I arrived in Santiago the first time (also from the English route). And I suspect for you the Camino won't end. Hopefully you'll get to come back again and again! Buen (future) Camino!!

well done, Anna. No prizes for guessing how you feel. I am arriving on Sunday, 20 March at 8.30 pm at the airport. I simply am so happy and free. Buen Camino, Caesar

Sister mylifeonvacation..... once a pilgrim, a pilgrim for life. Buen Camino , Caesar

 

[Angelo]

I congratulate you for your achievement. And I am sure you will be planning for the next one soon..

 

[Waka]

Congratulation.

My first Camino was the Ingles. I have walked a few times since and even slipped in a cheeky revisit to the Ingles last year. That first one still remains very special to me and changed my life. Returning last year brought back so many memories and was just as joyful. Congratulations on your achievement. Enjoy the wonderful feelings you are having right now.

All of us who walk into Santiago de Compostela whatever our reasons or beliefs share similar quickened emotions upon arrival. The weight of history is so great with the accumulated layers of centuries, both visible and invisible. One can see much and also feel or imagine even more such as hordes of past pilgrims following the same timeless route towards the cathedral. ...Celebrate your achievement and cherish your memories!

 

[movinmaggie]

You made it! Glory be......and congratulations Anna.

 

[Camino with Kids]

Congratulations!!
I try to live by the saying "its not the destination, but the journey"
We too are walking the Ingles and although its not the 800 km of the Frances, it will still be a huge undertaking for my husband and me, if not for our kids as well

Don't ever put down your achievements. Every step is one. Well done you. The Camino is never ending. Keep on finding a way to go on.
