“What else do we have to do with our time?” I responded when Reg expressed his disbelief. Having just watched the Martin Sheen movie The Way, I was fascinated with the idea of walking The Camino de Santiago.
Why? That's a tough question…or maybe it's really quite simple. Life is short. More and more often I'm reminded that my time here is limited. In a world where it's far too easy lose sight of what's important, this seemed like a perfect opportunity to slow down and appreciate the beauty that each day brings.
I believe faith is the common denominator on the Camino. Religious faith leads many along The Way. Some are guided by their spiritual faith while others seek to define a personal faith. Will this change my life? Undoubtably, but at this point, I can't fathom what is in store for me. I'm eager to discover who will share this journey; to hear their story, share a meal and perhaps walk a few miles together.

Good to read that you are opening your mind and heart to a spiritual dimension on the Camino. That is, after all, what it’s for. I can’t wait to read what happens.

I think an open mind is essential when attempting to walk the Camino…for a lot of reasons. We are both trying very hard to not have specific expectations. Stay in touch. We’ll look forward to your comments and observations!
