- Time of past OR future Camino
- Camino Frances 2008/2009, Roncesvalles-Burgos Oct. 2012
At one of my pilgrimages when I arrived in Astorga I had a briefly meeting with a Spanish local, but also a pilgrim, who told me that the part I had just walked represented the present and the problems I might be having right now.
Later I have heard about this divisions of the camino from others, but in different variations.
The first part is supposingly representing childhood or past, the middle part (meseta) the now, and the last part (from Astorga?) means the future and what will happen.
Other ways to see it?
Others say that the road is symbolicly divided into two, not three.
Does anyone know more about this? Where do these stages start and end?
What does it mean exactly?
Things the pilgrim should work With?
Or is the past, the present and the future just "working within the pilgrim" as he is walking along, giving him healing for what has happened, what is now, or will happen?
Hope this was understandable!
