Lebaniego / Picos / 2022
I've walked from april 27, till 27 may this year from St Jean to Santiago.
I'm already a few weeks on to my normal life at home.
At work i made a screensaver with all the pictures of the camino, well the most pictures i loved.
I found myself everyday at work staring at my screensaver for a couple of minutes, till a co-worker pushed me to wake me up again.
I have regrets at some pictures from pelgrims who asked me for a drink or something to eat, wich i denied cause i was, i dont know in a hurry? or i was to tired i dont know anymore, maybe i wasn't ready..
But i remember them now when i see the pictures on my screensaver....José from Brasil, Pieter from Poland, Ryan from america, Spencer from south Africa...etc all the people who wanted to share something with me wich i denied for some reason i can't explain.
I still remember the moments and even there faces when they asked me to.
And now when i see theire pictures i have regrets and wished i had joined them.
Even an Italian woman who took a break under a tree, wanted to share her chocolate with me, i refused and thank her for that and passed her. But that moment when i passed her i already regret it. Sometimes i could bang my head on a tree!
Does anyone also have regrets, that they missed some moments with a pelgrim that you wished you could turn back in time.
Regrets of walking maybe a little longer with someone, or just talk a little bit longer or just forget to ask her/his name.
Maybe its a lesson for me for the next time, to take more time with the people..
Or maybe i must delete my camino screensaver..
(lets not talk about my shoes..)
