Perfect! My life story...It remains true to this day...
"If you want to hear God laugh, tell Him your plans." (Old Yiddish proverb)
It was never my intent to walk the Camino, now I have credenciales from three different years. Hard to figure....

Reminds me of an older thread:I love to write. But sometimes other people have said it better. Any favorite Camino/travel/hiking/walking quotes? Funny, serious, original or famous....just remember to give credit where credit is due and have fun!
I'll start it off with
"Bizarre travel plans are dancing lessons from God." ~Kurt Vonnegut

Reminds me of an older thread:
https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/motivational-quotes.33927/
Most of the "new" topics already exist somewhere in the history of this forum but there's absolutely no problem in reviving majority of them. Glad you've enjoyed it.Oops!! Sorry, I didn't know that thread existed but it made for fun reading last night. Thanks for sharing the link!
Caminante no hay Camino.
Se hace Camino al andar.
What else is there???"When you come to a fork in the road, take it."
Yogi Berra
What else is there???
Yogi Berra, a great philosopher, I agree. In his own wayAnd it never disappoints!
I've always loved this poem, but never found it that inspirational; it's rather typical of the Generation of 98 in its expression of "cosmic nihilism" underlying their abulia. The key is in the final stanza,
Caminante, no hay camino,
sino estelas en la mar.
It's a reminder that our passage leaves but faint traces that quickly fade to nothing.
in my own little way this always inspired me...the good deed is it's own reward
It has been fun looking through these old threads so easily noticed by the new format. The only downside is that it keeps me "chained to the forum" a little longer when I should be getting busy doing other more important things that are much less entertaining however. Ha.

And this is where I will say: I have been really enjoying my too frequent visits to the forum, and likewise neglecting other things. I need to restrict myself in a few areas, and this will be one of them. It will be costly, but isn’t that the message from the traditional Feudal Lords: your reward will be great...! Buen Camino, caminantes.It has been fun looking through these old threads so easily noticed by the new format.
