I will do it.
I don’t have a balcony and no one can see my house, but I do have white lights strung in all my porches, so every night until this is over I will turn on the lights at 9PM. On the east coast of the US I think that is 4PM? Si o no?Some Spanish friends have alerted me to the fact that tonight at 9 pm (about 40 minutes from now if my time zones are correct), people all over the country will go out on the balcony for a moment of silence with a candle. Though it is just lunch time where I am, I am planning to go stand outside with a candle lit. Maybe that’s a silly thing to do, but it seems like the right thing.

That article notes that 86% of the dead are over 70 years old. In my state, many thousands of miles away, an infant has died.
No, it’s 3 pm. I always get it mixed up, so I usually revert to a website like this one.I don’t have a balcony and no one can see my house, but I do have white lights strung in all my porches, so every night until this is over I will turn on the lights at 9PM.

My clock on my Galaxy (Android) can give me "world time" by just logging in the city. It's the only way I can ever keep these pesky time zones straight.No, it’s 3 pm. I always get it mixed up, so I usually revert to a website like this one.

Hi - I'm a mental health nurse in Perth WA and our death starting to rise / just read these threads and thinking of the trip.i was taking in 2 weeks and the lovely people referred to .May the Spirit of life be with us all.I was asleep, and missed this most touching thread.
But a candle is lit. The time matters less than the connection.
And that's never silly.
Thank you, Laurie.

I remember the older folks I met along the way. My first day on my first Camino I met an old man probably 90s walking a small child in a carriage. I was sitting on a stone wall having some water. He came up to me talking in Spanish which I didn't’ understand. I politely said no espanol but he wanted to talk. He had to give me something a cookie, a small wrapped candy, and a walnut. Then went on his way I can’t forget it. Lastly a older woman I’m 73 now saw me walking down the road last year while she was hanging out her washing. I was going the wrong way she waving frantically told me to stop. Then came to the road to walk me back to where I was supposed to going. Love these folks just two of many of interactions I’ve had. I’d love to give them a hug.Among my most profound memories of walking 4 Caminos is not the stunning landscape nor the incredible architecture, but the older Spanish people. I remember the 94 year old man who proudly showed his church in Artieda, the lady somewhere along the Meseta who gave me a handfull of candy saying, "I want you to have this", the gentleman who invited me to rest on his bench with him while we chatted about our day, the man who stopped me to talk after I greeted him with "Buenos dias!" and others. I feel immensely privileged and honored that these people would share something of their lives with me, an outsider non-Spanish and am sad to think that they might be among those who have had their last Camino.
