The Walk, 2014

In the fall of 2013, Tom walked the Camino de Santiago de Compostela from St. Jean de Pied in southwestern France to Santiago in northwestern Spain. We decided to do it together in 2014, along with our friend Cindy, and starting 500 miles further east in Le Puy, France. This historic pilgrimage route is walked annually by thousands of people...and now we count ourselves among them.

We aren't taking any "technology" with us, so we'll be using public pay-by-the-hour computers with strangely arranged keyboards and (perhaps) slow Internet access. But we'll attempt to post regularly.

Buen camino!

Thanks before we go...

People go on pilgrimages for a variety of reasons, many religious, some spiritual. In my case, I hesitate to call this a pilgrimage--I just like to walk! I'm also pretty happy about going nearly 3 months without vacuuming or cleaning a bathroom, but somehow that seems rather shallow. Tom and Cindy will have to weigh in with their own reasons.

At any rate, we're off to the airport in a few days and are in the final throes of getting packed and organizing the pets. We owe a huge thanks to Pat, Marel, Daniel, Lu Ann, and in Cindy's case, Jim and Carol for taking care of our pets and possessions, allowing us to be away for so long.

Buen camino!

    Cindy... and all who are on the walk.
    Look at a tree, a flower, a plant. Let your awareness rest upon it.
    How still they are, how deeply rooted in Being. Allow nature to teach you stillness.
    Blessings... Melone
