I think because I’m content to live with the memory.
And partly because I know that some things are finite. That is, they exist at a given time in a given place and they have that special meaning precisely because they are temporary, impermanent. I don’t know. I’m not sure. But I think there must be some truth in it. This minute, this day is special partly because it will go, into my past, and never come back. I had better make the most of it and enjoy it!
I’ve seen several posts by forum members trying to find fellow pilgrims from past hikes. It’s an irresistible desire to make contact with someone who has added meaning to our life or shown us kindness or even love. It’s a very human and humane yearning that we all have. I have often wondered about some of the pilgrims I met on my walks. It would be nice to stay in touch with people who are with us at pivotal times in our life. The Camino is, for many of us, a pivotal event. Reading our posts is testimony to that. So far, I have resisted the urge to seek out my fellow pilgrims from Spain 2017 and Portugal 2019.

I often wonder how many marriages have resulted from the meeting up of fellow pilgrims on the Camino.I’ve seen several posts by forum members trying to find fellow pilgrims from past hikes.

I know three people that have divorced since doing the Camino . . . A life changing experience indeed!I often wonder how many marriages have resulted from the meeting up of fellow pilgrims on the Camino.
...perhaps we meet for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
It is what it is and the good memories still simmer and give me warmth years later.

I keep in touch with some of my fellow Camino pilgrims through Facebook and ones that are not on FB.through mail. So nice to receive a Christmas card and photos from John ( Ireland).

I was discussing this in another context yesterday. I have found over my pilgrimage walks that my fellow pilgrims fall into three broad classes:I think because I’m content to live with the memory. And partly because I know that some things are finite.
Many times I thought I just met my second wife on Camino(s). The only problem always was that I haven't been married yet. Not even once...I have a friend who started walking the CF married to one wife, finished it years later married to his second wife!!
How long was he walking for, for goodness sake!I have a friend who started walking the CF married to one wife, finished it years later married to his second wife!!

He went back over many years to walk the various stages .How long was he walking for, for goodness sake!
