The gift (and pain) of rejection
The title of this brief post feels more serious than it really is. Let me explain…
We had just eaten a yummy lunch and were heading out on the final leg of today’s walk. All was going well, the weather app told us to expect some rain, but it seemed pretty mild.

Wisdom and grace and numbering days
Lots of great conversations on our short walk today. In the midst of them I was reminded of this song I love… Wisdom and Grace.

Spiritual beings are relational
Today was supposed to be a half rest day. We decided that instead of taking one full day off completely, we would do 2 shorter walking days and have 2 half rest days. Although I will say over 6 miles of walking does not feel much shorter to me!

The way and the wondering
This was a challenging day on the Camino, our route took us along a wooded path with rocky sections, and a lot more uphills than we’ve seen so far. Overall, moving more slowly, taking more care with each step.

Blessed are the pavements
It seems that I have become a little obsessed with walking surfaces since starting this Camino. If you had asked me what I thought would occupy my mind before starting this pilgrimage I am quite sure walking surfaces would not have made the list.

Sweet moments on Camino
So, were there boardwalks today? Yes there were!
But also…

I’ve had a website for a while now… I am notoriously bad at keeping it updated. I’m still in the process of loading my old posts to the Archives page. The topics may vary, but in general, I continue to ponder what it looks like to connect with people who are having inclusive thoughts in unexpected places. Much love to all, Helen. 🙏🏻 ❤️ 😊
