Take Me to The El Camino

Still not sure exactly what I expect to get out of this journey. For sure, there is a great deal of excitement about getting started, and seeing if I can actually do this, but am I expecting a great epiphany??? Don't know. Of the seven or eight books read about the walk, discussions with people who completed it previously,  and second hand tales from friends of friends; there is a certain consistency in as much as they achieved some sort of self discovery. But I am not so sure in most cases it was what they went looking for, or expected to find. I like that.

As noted in an earlier post, my approach will be one of an open heart and an open mind. And that will include my expectations . No expectations, other than there is some expectation. Maybe it will be life changing, maybe not, but whatever it ends up being, I am OK with that. Worst case  scenario will be as one of the boys said   " five weeks away from the office and one friggin long walk". 

With all that said, I have started a new song about the journey; one which I hope will write itself step by step. So goes the journey, so goes the song. Wonder what that last verse will say when all is said and done? 

Take Me to The El Camino

First heard about it in the movies

A mystic place so far away

The path that you could walk

To save your soul

Ease your mind and find your own true way

     Take me to the El Camino

     St Jean Pied de Port to Finistere

     Santiago Compostella

     The way of Saint James
