What We Do

The video below
 is one of the most beautiful videos 

on the Camino 

I have seen in a while.

When friends and relatives ask, 

"What do you DO on the Camino?" 

this should explain it a bit better.

To me, in 2016, 

walking the Camino is a lot 

like going to Woodstock was 

for hippies in the 60's.  

It is a Rite of Passage. 

It is a place of comradery. 

You meet people, tell them you were there, 

and they exclaim, 'I did it too!" 

and suddenly you are family. 

You understand each other.

I have a deep respect 

and a great love for the Camino.

It has healed me on so many levels.

It continues to heal pilgrims.

It will heal you too.

You will find answers on the Camino, 

if you don't take things 

that distract you from thinking.

One step in front of the other, 

under the blue skies, 

the thunderclouds, 

the rain, 

the snow, 

and the stars... 

one step in front of the other 

while the wind blows the dross from your mind 

and makes you realize 

how cluttered your life has become.

When you return home, 

you know how happy a person can be 

with just what can be carried on the back.

You are like a snail

 - with your home on your back - 

and it's liberating!

Don't let people discourage you.

You can do it.

Just show your worried relatives this video
posted below.

Then go.

Buen Camino!
