. . . let me share this quote, which I just came across, with my fellow forum members:

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

Of course, everyone who is reading this has decided to do, not just to think about doing. But it's nice to get an affirmation that the time is now to get out and do, whether one is 18 or 80. When that inner voice (the voice of GOD?) calls, it must be obeyed. I'm a 60+ year old and will be doing my first Camino in May. Buen Camino, everyone! 8)

Things do not matter,
Nothing is true but Love.
