"Life doesn't mean to wait until the storm has passed, but to dance in the rain."
I read that just yesterday on a board in the garden of the Albergue Verde in Hospital de Orbigo!
Fuller quote and English translation: https://books.google.com/books?id=3...q=Teresa+Avila+"Y+si+acaso+no+supieres"&hl=enY si acaso no supieres
donde me hallaras a Mi,
no andes de awui parar alli,
sino, si hallarme quiesieres
a Mi buscarme has en ti.
Think this going to be an interesting thread.I know we had similar threads before ;-) but I can't find them ;-( and as I just found this quote/saying, I wanted to share it. Feel free to add your own. Buen Camino, SY
"Life doesn't mean to wait until the storm has passed, but to dance in the rain."
Source unknown (to me)
I went for a walk in the rain twice today. If I had Summer as a partner I might have danced."Life doesn't mean to wait until the storm has passed, but to dance in the rain."
@SabineP Thanks. I just sent this quote to my freshman in college. He is there with several friends from high school. I think he has become complacent and is not reaching out to make new friends. He is surrounded by opportunity. All of the freshman are away from home, many for the first time, all he has to do is strike up a conversation.“You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.”
― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

Drive safely.Feel free to add your own.
uh, yeah....nothing says inspiration like illegally defacing someone else's property with graffiti paintLet's not forget the forever inspirational wall taggings we see along The Way.

this unbelievably ill-behaved tagger should be found and marched up to this every other week to clean up any paint or trash...for oh, about three years. 70 or so climbs should help them understand what it is to be an adult member of society.uh, yeah....nothing says inspiration like illegally defacing someone else's property with graffiti paint

Stanley Marsh encouraged the graffiti of those ten cars planted on his land, and tolerated the stripping of them of parts...I don't think the same could be said for the alto de perdon.A place called Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo Texas.View attachment 29663
Imagine.may I add another?(even if not spray painted on someone else's wall...or worse...I cannot believe that @Mark Lee, I would have been livid if that were there when I walked)

Yeah, saw those on the Camino. Made me wonder what John Lennon would have thought about his song lyrics being spray painted on the side of public garbage containers.
Yeah, that was when I walked the CF the first time. Was such a beautiful, warm day and I gotta admit a bit disappointing to see the graffiti tagged on the pilgrim sculptures.may I add another?(even if not spray painted on someone else's wall...or worse...I cannot believe that @Mark Lee, I would have been livid if that were there when I walked)

well, so far (fingers crossed) this sort of nonsense hasn't made it to the corner of the world I now call home...and I think maybe @Rick of Rick and Peg took the pictures because he also thought it out of place (sorry if I assume wrong)...so if either of you make it to the central coast I will spring for a good dinner and California wine, graffiti-free. I owe it to you both since my trip was sans-graffiti (except for the "free the Basques" on the Norte)...I admit I saw it on the mile markers near SdC (I picked up the trash, and tried to wipe off the graffitti)Yeah, that was when I walked the CF the first time.

Could only shake my head and wonder what kind of idiot does stuff like that. I mean it took some planning of sorts. Intent and deliberation. Bringing a spray can up there and thinking doing that is acceptable. I think the same thing at all the graffiti tagged Camino kilometer markers.
Hey, much thanks for the offer. I'm a native son. Born in La Jolla.well, so far (fingers crossed) this sort of nonsense hasn't made it to the corner of the world I now call home...and I think maybe @Rick of Rick and Peg took the pictures because he also thought it out of place (sorry if I assume wrong)...so if either of you make it to the central coast I will spring for a good dinner and California wine, graffiti-free.

I no longer feel sorry for youBorn in La Jolla.

I took the pictures because, like it or not, it was part of the camino experience.I think maybe @Rick of Rick and Peg took the pictures because he also thought it out of place (sorry if I assume wrong)
Thank you (unless it is required that we walk there.)so if either of you make it to the central coast I will spring for a good dinner and California wine, graffiti-free.
This is on the Primitivo?
I don't think so...it appears he walked the Frances and Finisterre-MuxiaThis is on the Primitivo?
Now I seem to remember that this is after Melide before you get to the beautiful Casa Verde where the shirts hang from the ceiling.I don't think so...it appears he walked the Frances and Finisterre-Muxia
but as we know, there is nothing worthwhile to see on the Primitivo, not even graffiti
shhhh....
Primitivo, keep the secret
As @Smallest_Sparrow wrote it was on the Camino Frances, somewhat before Salceda. I passed a number of other verses to Lennon's Imagine before snapping those two pictures. They all were farther apart than you would think.This is on the Primitivo?
