Day 10 Saturday – Buen Camino! 11th May 2013
Side Church – Cathedral of Santiago
I sat in silence for over an hour in the exquisite peace of
this church, one of many off the main nave of the great Cathedral. Away from
the click of tourist photos and rituals of organised prayer it was an occasion
of grace and beauty.
Caught in the reflection are two of the many candles we lit
along the way and at the end of the Camino for loved ones, near and far.
Unfinished business.
We all hope to return to the Camino in the coming years.
Lorraine and I are talking of a family Camino next year. I
hear talks of the Portuguese Camino, of the Northern route, of the Primitive route, of returning to Pamplona,
our favourite city, perhaps.
We do not find the Camino, it finds us.
The Camino calls.
It has changed each one of us. We each have made a little resolution
to do something we had not planned ahead of the 2013 Camino.
Thank you, Joe, Josephine, Brian, Phil and Barry.
Buen Camino!
