Time of past OR future Camino
Camino Frances, The Jakobsweg
And her chaste beauty that comes of a pure soul...tore all the walls asunder, exposing the man beneath the beast...

We all have walls pilgrim..there is no sense in letting them define who we are
What we are
When..we are.

We find the old familiar paths become prisons of intention
Good or bad or from the best of.

But breaking them is the real tragedy of existences when we can no longer try for futility..sometimes,we build too strong and far too long

Walling off the outer world to protect the inner

Soon we are our own echoes and shadow haunting lonely path

We forget the steps to the dance
We forget that no one is watching our mistakes..mis steps..miss..?

Out.."there" you wash clean of iniquity
You find...that you find the essential you
What makes you...
You

Despite and in spite what the world says

Its as much an inner journey as it is one step at a time..forward.

Miles don't matter
Its the quality
Its the experience of survival
Its letting go
Its embrace to erase
Or find.

Its not that far in the end.
Distance measured in time
Time from the beginning
Time to the end
All the miles become memory
Become legend
Become mystery..
And finally become who and what we are.

20 years 30 years
A lifetime becomes moments between heartbeats
All the pain
Becomes peace in the end.

What you find or lose on the Way may not make sense now
But it will

Whichever path you take
Whenever you take it
Not.."how" is the key to finding that crack

Its a scary thing Pilgrim
To live a life without walls

Storms come and go
All the emotions raw and real

You may find..your alive again.

Off you Go!
