- Time of past OR future Camino
- 2009-2022: CFx6, CP, VdlPx2, Mozarabe, more later.
I am sitting here, reflecting upon my upcoming Camino, thinking:
I see so many posts here about equipment issues, foot trouble, bed hunting, bed bugs (I never saw any) etc., and I am wondering if many people have the wrong focus? "This world" problems, instead of spiritual experience and personal reflections on "deeper issues"? I understand time/money issues, but really: Isn't it all about getting going, and see where it leads you?
If time/money is your issue, then divide the walk into sections, or?
If not, just get going? (I am fortunately in this category).
In either case, you will receive many "things". The Camino is not a dangerous place: On the contrary.
Also, the fear of throwing oneself into the unknown: I can understand the fear to some extent, but: If you continue to do the same as you've always done, you will receive the same you have always received. If you are happy with what you receive today, stay at home, perhaps? If not, search for something new. The Camino is probably the best place to find it... And here, I mean mind/mindset, and ideas for new directions in life.
This is just a night's reflections (I am on the "right" (European) side of the Atlantic ), thinking over my plans for my next Camino (may buy us a beer in Moratinos, Rebekah )
