A quote that seemed "camino" to me this morning

Hi all,
I came across this random quote this morning and, of course, the camino came to mind. I hope some of you enjoy thinking about it as much as I did.

Buen camino everyone!
Here it is:

Ram Dass, “We’re all just walking each other home.”

 

[Grousedoctor]

A great quote from Ram Dass. It’s in this very “human experience” that we experience on the Camino that we have the opportunity for change, growth, and to develop some real insights. It’s not just another long walk!

In our newsletter as a local chapter of the American Pilgrims on the Camino, we use a quote each time. We'll definitely use this. Thanks for sharing this!

Over the years I've been saving Camino and walking quotes, this one is a good addition.
I can't help myself, I have to add:
" Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet." Roger Miller

I like Bill Manhire's I live at the edge of the universe, like everybody else.

Feels very 'Camino', where we meet so many nationalities.

Love it! My wife and I walked a combination of four caminos last Aug-Sep. La Vuelta (multi-stage bike race in Spain) was going on at the same time. We saw a quote/saying associated with that bike race that said, "Una vida tiene muchas etapas." Translated, that means "a life has many stages." We adopted that as our mantra for the camino experience.

Ram Dass, “We’re all just walking each other home.”

Beautiful quote! I actually saw it written on a large stone in the ground near the Cruz de Ferro while I was walking my Camino. Here's a photo.

A beautiful quote that popped up on my Instagram yesterday, which is kind of Camino-related:

I will cut adrift, I will sit on pavements and drink coffee, I will dream; I will take my mind out of its iron cage and let it swim, this fine October. Virginia Woolfe

I have a page of quotes that I like and keep on my ‘phone, that are on a sort of Camino-related theme - some were actually uttered by fellow walkers.
Humour me with the selection below… I hope readers may like one or two and find that they resonate in some way.
Some are well known quotes, of course:

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be”
-Douglas Adams

”If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.”
Woody Allen

”Not all those who wander are lost” ~ J. R. R. Tolkien

”An adventure is just bad planning ~ Roald Amundsen

Good, Better, Best ... Until the Good is better and until the better is best!

It is a privilege to step outside of my everyday life and walk the paths.

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.
~ T S Eliot

“We shall not cease from exploration.
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.”
~ T S Eliot

Dreams are the easy bit - you can do that in your sleep.

You end up with the wrong picture, when the pieces of the puzzle are in the wrong place....even if they seem to fit.

A Hawaiian saying (apparently!) - No matter wherever you go, that is where you are...

This speaks of Camino experiences and “Encounters” (do not look for them, they will find you!) -
"You truly see by not trying to see." The Snow Leopard, Peter Matthiessen. Watching a herd of blue sheep it is by chance you see the snow leopard stalking its prey. You can look straight at where a snow leopard is and not see it.

It is only when I arrive at the end of the journey that I will know the beginning of the story.
