13. We need less than we think we do.As we all know, the Camino is a metaphor for life.
This is a great list. The only edit I suggest is for number 10. I‘d write, “The journey is more important than the destination.”As we all know, the Camino is a metaphor for life. Walking the Camino Frances in September, I came up with the following twelve Camino rules that can also be applied to real life. Would anyone care to add, modify, or subtract?
- In order to finish, you first have to begin.
- Lighten your load. It will make your journey easier.
- Keep placing one step in front of the other.
- No need to hurry. We will all end up in the same place.
- If you lose your way, a stranger will help you find the right path.
- It’s good to have company, but there are times when it’s better to walk alone.
- Suffering is a source of strength.
- If you look after your feet, your mind will take care of itself.
- Inspiration comes from a cloud-filled sky.
- The journey is as important as the destination.
- Everyone must find their own camino.
- Keep walking!
I think I’ll print this one and pin it up! Very thoughtful and well put...in a metaphorical way!As we all know, the Camino is a metaphor for life.

(Looking them over, I realize they're somewhat serious, so some humorous rules would also be welcome.)

Thank goodness for the translation appOne more:
If you think it is a steep "subida", just turn back and you'll see it's a "bachada",

I love the walking. I love the journey.I prefer his original, as it's more generally accurate -- there are a few pilgrims who seriously detest the walking, but for whom completion of it is vitally important.
7. Suffering is a source of strength.
I agree with every one of these points, especially 12, your Camino is from birth to death, it didn't end at Santiago or Finisterre.As we all know, the Camino is a metaphor for life.

A bit like Dag Hammarskjöld's "Never measure the height of a mountain until you have reached the top. Then you will see how low it was."One more:
If you think it is a steep "subida", just turn back and you'll see it's a "bachada",
This is fun...
"never take moderation to excess"
Thanks. I changed this to CAN BE a source of strength. Sometimes suffering is just a source of suffering.Suffering is both a source of strength and overrated; good for character building but learn when to let that weight go.

Twelve steps in AA?Twelve has become the de facto standard for rules for life.
Thirteen unless you are counting the swapout of Mattias for Judas...12 for each apostle

The answer to everything..according to Douglas Adams is....47!Age is not a number, it's an attitude..
Yes..I’ve heard that saying “age is not a number, it’s an altitude”...mine’s getting higherAge is not a number, it's an attitude..
My friend I now think the destination distracts from the journey. The destination is totally irrelevant. Even though I was very emotional when I got to Santiago this time. I realized quickly it was not because I finished, but what Santiago and especially the Cathedral represents to being. Another piece in the puzzle that are my Caminos.This is a great list. The only edit I suggest is for number 10. I‘d write, “The journey is more important than the destination.”
Which reminds me of another Satchel Paige quote, this rhetorical question: "How old would you be if you didn't know how old you was?" I'm 73, but if I lost my birth certificate and memory I'd probably say about 50.Yes..I’ve heard that saying “age is not a number, it’s an altitude”...mine’s getting higher
It never matters...always look on the bright side..the candles on the birthday cake save on the heating bills!Which reminds me of another Satchel Paige quote, this rhetorical question: "How old would you be if you didn't know how old you was?" I'm 73, but if I lost my birth certificate and memory I'd probably say about 50.
D.A. actually said 42, not 47.The answer to everything..according to Douglas Adams is....47!
Stand corrected!...D.A. actually said 42, not 47.

Keep AM and PM noise to a minimum in alberques ie: organise your backpack for the next day before you head off for dinner and if you must leave at 3 4 or 5am be as quiet s a mouse.

Not always true.No need to hurry. We will all end up in the same place.
Not always true.
Some people will end up in less desirable albergues or in a taxi to the next town.
Reading your post and the post preceding together has given me the best laugh of the day...although unintended!!What a wonderful gift. I'm adding this list to my memoirs.
