- Time of past OR future Camino
- Camino Francés 2017, Inglés 2019, Aragónes 2024
While we're all going through difficult times, it seems that a lot of people are feeling disconnected and a bit isolated. In 2017 I walked the Camino Frances with a small group of friends from here in Dallas, Texas. By the time I finished, I'd met a group of people from around the world and more from my home state. These people are still my friends and since my Camino in 2017, my wife and I have visited many of them and some have come from South Africa and New Zealand to visit here in Texas. I don't know if this is common but I hope it is.
With the difficulties created by the Covid-19 virus, I wanted to find a way to reach out to those friends so I organized a Zoom virtual meeting (zoom.us) and invited them all, whether near or far, to join. We just finished that session and while it was a bit hectic at times, it was good to see one another, make sure that we're all safe and to just feel connected again.
While these tough times will pass, in the interim, I encourage you all to reach out to anyone who may be in need or, if you're feeling isolated, reach out to a friend wherever they are. Sometimes technology gets in the way, in this case, it was a great way to shrink the world and bring my friends smiling faces back into my home. It brightened my day, theirs too I think.
