The thing about gifts...

William Garza

Veteran Member
Time of past OR future Camino
Camino Frances, The Jakobsweg
Is that you must use them right away
Dont save them for
Someday
Some..when

Use them right away
Chocolate turns to powder
Flowers fade into dark leaves between the leaves
Memories fade into the grey

Everything can be a gift if you squint your eyes...stick your tongue a certain way and smile.
Time flies and life follows right behind and before you know it all that remains is memories
What could have
What should have
Been.

Make your walk a gift to yourself
Grab everyday with both hands
Hardship and happiness
Toil and rest

The Way is a gift you must use while there
Dont wait
Dont save
Dont regret not using it

Be well Pilgrim
