My Pilgrimage: The Camino Trail
Even with an all-expense paid trip to do anything anywhere, the trip in my heart is more reliant upon the love, wisdom and faith of others. Yes, I would accept the airfare and need little with me otherwise.
To walk and Talk with God in a land meant to wander, sweat, laugh, cry and explore. The questions in my heart as it feels like I put God on hold like it was the 90’s and I was taking a three-way call. A call I could come back to while I answered call after call. Prioritized this person at that time. I fell hard. I mean hard.
I have taken God off hold and have begun the most important pilgrimage which is within my own heart.
In this new land I will walk in the steps others have walked-humble myself in a quiet moment, put one foot in front of the other. Get lost and sing joyfully off key!
An intentional journey to become more intentional.
Smell the grass, run barefoot and do the strenuous work of beginning and ending.
Being open-hearted, exhausted, pleasant meals with strangers, prayers alone, communing, relating, understanding.
Getting my clothes dirty with not a single idea of how I am going to wash them!
