I have just read a reply posted by TerryB under the heading Walking for someone else. Terry mentions time out! For me, as the years go on and my Comino's accumulate, Time Out has become perhaps the main reason why I walk accross Spain for nearly 6 weeks: A time for leaving all the family and inter-relational problems behind. The house (needs painting), the car (11 yrs old needs frequently the mechanic), the children, the grandchildren, etc. etc. The daily rhythm of walking, visit any open church that we pass, meditate on the blessings we have had in life and dedicate our prayers to those who are in need, that for me is Time Out. Adriaan, my husband of 46 years and my walking partner, describes this time as a moment of "lineal prayer". During my "normal" life, I just don't seem to have time for all these things. Anne
