Alone this evening in Arca Do Pino ... 20 km from Santiago
after having had dinner with two women from Hungary
and, after they left, two men from Finland
... friends on the Camino.
Allison and I will meet tomorrow at noon
at the gate to the medieval city, then walk together
to the Cathedral de Santigo.
I am giving thanks and wondering
about the gift, blessing and significance
of this time of walking ... of communion
with fellow pilgrims from all over the world,
with the land and people of Spain along the Camino.
Giving thanks.
What if the actual remains of James the Apostle
are entombed in the Cathedral de Santiago?
Does the answer to this question matter?
What if ... this patron Saint of Spain, this friend and follower of Jesus - the man, the Spirit, God - is calling out to those who will listen?
What call will I hear?
There has been time on the Camino,
there will be time in Santiago,
and at home
to listen.
With love and gratitude for friends and family at home,
and Camino friends along the way, those we´ve met
and those we´ve yet to meet.
And to my family - Guck for the Guck!
(I love you)
Talk to you soon,
Diane
