- Time of past OR future Camino
- Walked August 2015, planning on walking August 2017
Well there hasn't been a thread about "The Way" specifically for a while, so I'll start one.
It was written to mimic "The Wizard of OZ", Santiago being the Emerald City, and of course we Follow the Yellow ...arrows.
I was Tom (Dorothy) on my first Camino, walking with my little sister's ashes, alone and in grief. She was the one who said I could walk it, I never believed it until I had finished.
Now in August I walk again, and just for a change I will be Joost(Cowardly Lion) walking from meal to delicious meal, trying to lose all these extra pounds. It's my granddaughter's wedding I am going to, and I can't fit into my dress. Perhaps like Joost I will just buy a new outfit and be content with who I am.
So which character are you identifying with most?
