- Time of past OR future Camino
- April-May 2023
One of the most surreal, and enduring, memories of my recently completed Camino occurred about 5 kms out of O Pedrouzo. I came upon a ‘healing’ area decorated with proverbs and other words of encouragement. As I walked past, I noticed a woman dressed all in white out of the corner of my eye, on the other side of the path.
I returned back to make sure I had not deceived myself and indeed there she was - suitably angelic. Almost immediately, she stood up, came over to me, hugged me and gave me a long kiss on my cheek. I thanked her tearily, to which she replied in kind but with ‘Arigatou gozaimashita’- Japanese is my second language. How did she know that!?
No one else I talked to seems to have noticed her or had a similar experience. But surely someone here has come across this person. Anyone?
