- Time of past OR future Camino
- April 2016
Three weeks ago I walked into Santiago de Compostela and returned home.
Every day I am at work and generally the day doesn't go as smoothly as I would like, but I return home and see the Distance Certificate and Compostela framed and hanging on the wall and I think to myself that I walked 800 km, met amazing people, saw incredible sights, and grew spiritually beyond my expectations and that brings me some consolation.
I look at the pictures posted online and I think: There I have been, and there I long to return.
Had a well meaning man I know ask me how the Camino changed me, no possible way I can explain that to anyone. I just recommended that he try it and then he would understand.
Can't wait until next May when I can start again and experience more.
Hope that sounds familiar to someone.
