- Time of past OR future Camino
- Camino Frances (2013)
Grace fills empty spaces, but it can only enter where there is a void to receive it, and it is grace itself which makes this void. - Simone Weil
Hello all: Just recently I came upon this quote and immediately thought that this is what happens when one goes on pilgrimage or, in our case, on Camino. For me, going on Camino was the emotional stripping down to bare nothingness and having that space filled with something I needed, whatever that was. I lack the proper words to describe it, but I would be delighted if those who are better qualified than I would add their thoughts. Please, I would welcome your input here. It is times like this that I truly miss my dear friend and mentor who passed away a few years ago; he would have been able to expound at length on this.
(As to Simone Weil herself, well, that should be a whole other thread.)
