How many have just dropped away
Tired of winging it

To pursue your dream?
No more dream by the dram
Life by the drop....

To be brave enough to go?
Each moment gone from the finite clock
The moment gone forever

How many are strong enough to let go the safety net and swim the tide..rather than watch the turnings of

For eyes that have the view
The self same sorrow of knowing the truth
And not acting
Eternal duality
Eternal concretion of the soul
That never sails the deeper blue
Wind onto the tattered sails of the soul,mournful..it is you

Whats your story..will it be incomplete and sad and deep as you
Or will your story be written in the stars

Off you go pilgrim!

When I saw the title of Communion I thought it was about Holy Communion where I had a question I was afraid to ask so please delete dear mods if this is out of line.

I noticed when examining the path at Santiago de Compostela Cathedral down to the relics and then up again, supposedly to symbolize redemption according to Wiki that directly across from the exit door with the red light is a magnificent Confessional Room which I remember from before I became a "lapsed catholic" 70 years ago was necessary before Communion.

So my question is if that placement was intentional and pilgrims of the past (and present?) did in fact simply cross the ambulatory and make their confession as part of the pilgrim procedure.
