Awesome. Nothing like a good walk to reassess it all. A long walk is very symbolic in many ways, it gives us a destination, a goal, and once completeted, a sense of accomplishment and closure. Something which life, the ultimate journey, doesn't always do. Great piece, very much enjoyed it.
Funny timing - I just finished the Camino 3 days ago, but only from Sarria. While I was open to transformation, that did not happen for me, or it has yet to sprout through the soil. I was reminded of how wonderful a community of women can be, and how rare that is to find, though. I imagine, were I to start earlier and do it solo, it would offer much more up for me to integrate.
Thank you for re-issuing this story. I had a close friend who walked the Camino in her mid 20s to find herself after a rough childhood. She may not have found a cure, but she learned a lot as you did. Today she is the happy mother of three boys and wife of a wonderful man… All living their best lives much of it due to what she learned on the Camino. I have nothing but praise for those who succeed on that particular trail.

Thank you 🙏. Well said!
I hesitate but…only God can fill the “black hole”.
Agree.

Yes! It's interesting going through the phases of walking alone and together. Both feel necessary.
