AN UPDATE

There’s an old saying, “The best laid plans often go awry”. Or for the more religious minded, “If you want to make God laugh, make plans”.

I had planned to re-post all the posts from my first Camino in 2019.  I’m about to embark on my third Camino and I wanted to reflect on the wonder and amazement I encountered that first time.  Then life intervened.

My daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer and two of my oldest friends passed away.  Thankfully my daughter is now in remission. However I haven’t coped with these tragedies very well. As a result my plans for this blog did not come to pass.  Now I’m leaving in 3 days.

With this walk imminent I have been spending as much time as possible training, packing and re-packing, and preparing emotionally and spiritually.  I will share my thoughts and experiences with all of you and perhaps some other time I will return to examining my past Caminos but for now I will turn my face toward my upcoming journey and when I begin I will turn my face to Santiago de Compostela – Saint James under a field of stars.

Buen Camino
