The reason you miss the Way

I don't miss it.
I live it as much as I can at home.
I've met a lot who have walked different ways and I have got involved with our local society.
Yes, I miss Spain..but I know I will be back soon.
 
When I am two or three days away from reaching Santiago I start planning my next trip. That helps a lot. However, one Camino a year is no long enough. Perhaps there will be two next year?

Another name for this marvelous forum should be Caminoholics Anonymous. I love its 1,000,000 step program because it always works for me.

Buen Camino and Happy Holidays

Would that i walked with you when you were young
Crag,peak and valley
Wrinkles on your face
To have grown old and watched each one form.
To have seen the Maidenhead
That first lush meadow crossed under starlit sky

To have trodden first over smooth summer-ed skin
Bereft of toil and time

To have been lain down in fresh mown meadow smelling bed
Or to have smelled rain on pavestone first among peers
To hear...
Trees...whisper in the evening suns language of far and away
Of longing for the caress of the winds
Of the feel of new roots in the shadow of rich soils...

Of clouds
Singing
You can hear clouds sing if you lay down in meadow with...no...
Wait.

Walk among the wheat stalks
Silent to yourself

When the cloud passes watch the notes bend stalk
Listen
You will hear.

To have walked first among firsts
Following a river of stars
The bright star ever to your right they said...
And faithfull to this command, we walked
The first among firsts.

Toward the heaving sea

Finis Terrea

Which was only the beginning of things.

To have seen you in the Springtime

But now a summers come

And virgin soil plowed
Sweat stained footsore and among the weary we have walked
First blushes and second chances have made for lines of laughter
Tracks of tears
Dimples in the smile

Have changed the map to where people would see....
The stars have moved
The veil over the Way has become a river

Would that the deepening lines lay forgotten except for the few who recognise the lines of wisdom
Many now leading toward a laughing eye

All the crags are gentle hills
All the lines are lovely still
Ever far from winters chill

The Way
Evergreen
Ever old
Never young...to have seen from the beginning...

Pilgrim on the Way
Far away
Or near....to see the Way?
Is only to look and see
Each pilgrim passing

Every Pilgrim passed
Every Pilgrim to come

They are the way.

The wrinkles..joy upon the Smiling Face

When you get there
You will understand.

Be well Pilgrim.
 

Hi Dennis, a warning....I walked twice this year. In June with my granddaughter and took my daughter in October. Now I am planning a trip May 2018 solo and then in September with friends. Is two a year enough???
