I love freedom and in many ways I indulge in it. Consequently, I discovered (thanks to the Camino) that in the quest for freedom, I had compromised patience.
I set a tall order for myself...once "X" is done, I shall begin (Camino). No matter what, I will not walk until "X" is done. Oh boy...when "X" kept getting delayed - I kept going nuts, obviously from my own lack of patience, and desire for freedom. The Camino does begin from home but it kept me underwater for longer than comfort.
Finally, "X" is done a day ago (PHEW!!!). Impromptu tickets purchased. Trains booked. In 3 days, I shall begin...my first step on the Camino starting from my doorstep. (I don't just cross my fingers, I'm tying them into a knot!!)
My experience of the "Camino Begins from Home" was like standing on a thin melting ice hoping every moment for grace to show. In other words...it's about Trust, Faith and Surrender. At the moment, Grace is just a glimpse away. I still don't know if I'll catch it as I have 3 more days' breaths to hold. To be or not to be is certainly not mine to decide. In all things, I can only go as far as trying...(that I'm made to learn) Aaarrrgggg...!!!
