Is this a Zen/Alice in Wonderland route decision?

David

Veteran Member
Time of past OR future Camino
First one in 2005 from Moissac, France.
Hi, reporting from the Camino in France, 35kms south of Bordeaux .... dead flat, pine forests ... staying in my caravan whilst waiting for a possible car repair ...

anyway, was out cycling and exploring today and came across these two signs .... one the Route de Compostelle, the other the Chemin du Lapin ... so, pilgrims have a choice here - straight ahead or turn right?

The route to Santiago, which we call The Way of St James or take The Way of the Rabbit - is this a Zen or Alice in Wonderland decision? Answers on a postcard ....

Definately a Zen Koan David !!
Definition:
A student undertaking koan work is meant rather to exhaust the use of reason and conceptual understanding; finally making an intuitive leap.:)

Jump to what ever conclusion you intuitively come to David.;)
