You are Transcendent

Camino Frances, The Jakobsweg
You are surpassing near existence and act...into another form.
Its not a mear walk
Nor is it experience...it is more..and less

Going beyond your immediate human experience and trajectory in thought,deed and act
You have become more...counted among the stars and light the way..you have become a light
You have become less..a heavy object will shed mass as it enters atmosphere coming home with the call of gravity it got so long ago from so far away
A million stellar collisions put this heavy object(made up of the weight and detritus that time attached) into line with some faint subtle pull...indefinable...indescribable as it made its way in time,space and place

Until at last with ardent fervor and breathless impatience..speeds up on its way to its destiny..and for us? Lighting the sky as it sheds the cross away from its true form
Which is lessened by its passage

Pilgrim
That first step
Is really the final approach

And what you shed along the Way is only what you don't need
And alighting on Santiago s doorstep...there is so much more of you

Be Blessed Pilgrim
Off you Go!
