The Wayless Way, where the Sons of God lose themselves and, at the same time, find themselves.Meister Eckhart Stand at the crossroads and look; Ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.Jeremiah 6:16 Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.Psalm 84:5
A retired Army wife, with three kids out creating their own lives, and SEVEN granddaughters, I love the good life, which to me is fresh food, fine bourbon, dear friends, stimulating conversation about all things spiritual and the life beyond the physical world. Put me in Barnes and Noble with a good cup of coffee and you may never see me again! Or set me on a walking trail and I am content.
Well, you have the first part of your journey under your belt. Was that about 18 miles mostly uphill? Wow. What does the night bring? Are you finding comfortable accommodations and are you too sore to sleep? I'm keeping my co-workers abreast of your progress. They are as impressed as I. Love ya, Shari
You mentioned the breathtaking view – please note your comments are breathtaking to us without the time, money or most importantly, the bravery, to do what you are doing. I pray you sleep well and find the morning beyond your expectations.
Hi there from Leslie and Donald. Had some difficulty sending this, but Roger came to the rescue. We are very excited to see each step of the way. Looking good so far... take care of your tootsies (feet!). What an incredible journey. How is the food? And sleeping accomodations? Can't imagine walking uphill for that long, let alone downhill. You are amazing! Love and all our good thoughts. Leslie and Donald
May the Lord bless you on your pilgrimage. May he give to the strenght you need each day and the weakness that allows you to meet him. When you get to Moratinos look out for the Peaceable Kingdom, the home of Rebekaah and Paddy. They will give you a real pilgrim welcome.
Great start, Bev. Hearing that you knocked out 18 miles uphill the first day is encouraging, since that is what I will be averaging on my coast-to-coast. Hope you are having another inspirational walk today.
I walked the Camino in May of 2007, and look forward to returning next spring. Your words and pictures bring it all back to me. I will read your posts and sigh. Darlene
Thanks again for all kind words. There is so much to tell but it is slow going on the Blackberry! Pilgrim Patch, I have heard of the Peaceable Kingdom and will look for it.
