It's one week since I completed my most recent Camino. I was going to say "finished" though, by now, I know the Camino isn't finished with me.
How do I feel right now?
How did, or do you think you will feel once you return home from Santiago?
For my part:
I feel empty...though I have many memories and experiences unique to this Camino.
I cherish the new friends, old acquaintances rekindled, needs met and important goals not met...for good reason, or just past bye.
My family and friends are familiar with my "need" to return and support me in so many ways.
To the "newbees" who have followed along hoping to gain insight into what makes a "real pilgrim" tick. I hope you have found that each Camino, be it your first, or most recent, molds you anew once you take that first step along the Way. The Camino and you make it real. No other can and no other should.
Buen Camino,
Arn
