The one week blues

[Arn]

It's one week since I completed my most recent Camino. I was going to say "finished" though, by now, I know the Camino isn't finished with me.
How do I feel right now?
How did, or do you think you will feel once you return home from Santiago?
For my part:
I feel empty...though I have many memories and experiences unique to this Camino.
I cherish the new friends, old acquaintances rekindled, needs met and important goals not met...for good reason, or just past bye.
My family and friends are familiar with my "need" to return and support me in so many ways.
To the "newbees" who have followed along hoping to gain insight into what makes a "real pilgrim" tick. I hope you have found that each Camino, be it your first, or most recent, molds you anew once you take that first step along the Way. The Camino and you make it real. No other can and no other should.
Buen Camino,
Arn

As a gentle soul as yet to step onto that road..
That emptyness
Coyld it be that you have grown bigger? And now there is room for the next time to bring back more riches...
Or conversly
Were you so filled with...( fill with your words ) that now the deflation is you fitting into your...skin again, you were so much more"out there
And now that your back here,the wonder of the song in your heart, your soul is fading..painfully as you are still waltzing in the sun.

I hope your spirit stays filled and out there..inside,
where the wind and stars are singing to you...
You find the quiet,brilliant peace.
Inadequate words
But someday,i hope to find the real ones
Peace
