Lately I’ve been reading about how rock stacking or stone stacking is becoming more prevalent and how it is damaging to the environment. I’ve included a link to an article in The New Yorker which appeared in December 2018 on how our national parks are being harmed by this practice. I must confess that IContinue reading “STONE STACKING 101”

SIX DAYS TO SANTIAGO
Ok, it’s really only 5 days to the one year anniversary of my arrival in Santiago de Compostela. I had the idea to write this post yesterday and I liked the title and thought that it fit the topic. OK and I‘m a big fan of alliteration. It’s hard to explain how much the CaminoContinue reading “SIX DAYS TO SANTIAGO”
THERE’S A LITTLE BLACK SPOT ON THE MAP TODAY
There’s a little back spot on the sun today. It’s the same old thing as yesterday. The Police 1983 Now that I’ve let go of my camino this year and mourned it for the last month I am ready to re-enter life as a Pilgrim. Now I can begin to look to the future andContinue reading “THERE’S A LITTLE BLACK SPOT ON THE MAP TODAY”
DOES THIS MAKE ME A BAD PILGRIM?
This weekend we had our two oldest granddaughters (ages 5 & 6) staying with us. The oldest drew a picture of all of us taking a nature walk. In the end I was tired after making ice cream with the girls and decided to stay home. So she… X-ed me out!!! Buen Camino
ELIZABETH GILBERT TOLD ME TO POST THIS
Well she didn’t exactly tell me to post this in person. Or even by email or text. And she didn’t appear to me in a vision telling me to post this. I did, however, read her book Big Magic. Actually I read it three times 😮. The topic of this book is living a creativeContinue reading “ELIZABETH GILBERT TOLD ME TO POST THIS”
BE STILL…
…and know that I am God Psalm 46:10 Not everyone walks the camino. Some ride the camino on bicycles and others ride on horseback. I encountered many cyclists during my pilgrimage and while I never saw anyone on horseback I did see the reminders that horses had passed by on the trail. I can’t imagineContinue reading “BE STILL…”
I AM SAD
We have been in quarantine since about the end of March. At first it was really hard to imagine not being able to be free to leave the house. I was OK with that though. I had things in my life coming up that I was looking forward to. Little did I know that COVID-19Continue reading “I AM SAD”
I HAVE COVID-15 😮
Nobody panic! No, COVID-15 is not a new strain of the COVID-19 flu. COVID-15 is the 15 pounds gained during the quarantine. All that gourmet cooking that I learned to do, all the wine pairings I attempted (several times), and all those Quarantinis 🍸 that I experimented with, and all that time I spent watchingContinue reading “I HAVE COVID-15 😮”
THE BREAD OF LIFE
While I’ve been on this sort of QuaranCamino I’ve been thinking a lot about the Camino I walked last year. Bits and pieces come back to me and make me smile. These thoughts remind me that although this QuaranCamino is not the one I would have chosen, nonetheless it’s the one I’m on. One ofContinue reading “THE BREAD OF LIFE”
WHO WALKS WITH YOU ON THE CAMINO?
There’s a website with an accompanying Facebook page called “Sad Jesus”. Sad Jesus has a lot of followers on Facebook including many of my friends. Sad Jesus proclaims that… Saddened by the ever encroaching darkness, Sad Jesus seeks to bring light, name darkness, comfort the broken, and afflict the comfortable who think they have allContinue reading “WHO WALKS WITH YOU ON THE CAMINO?”
