As I enjoy reading my first Camino text, I realize how fortunate we are to be embarking on this journey.
Although this adventure is becoming more and more mainstream with visitors streaming in from all over the world. I consider myself pretty darn lucky to be taking this time at this stage in my life. I will be away from "life" for 8 weeks. I will be given this gem of an opportunity to journey on behalf of others as well as myself. WOW! What a privilege!
So back to senior Paulo's book. First chapter had great themes such as: the fear of the unknown, deciding to leave the "daily grind" and taking those first steps on the hike.
These are the quotes from the books that I would like to share with you.
"When you are moving toward an objective, it is very important to pay attention to the road. It is the road that teaches us the best way to get there, and the road enriches us as we walk its length." (p. 41)
The practice above allows us to extract the secrets from what we are used to seeing everyday. Our routine is the culprit to never fully seeing. (p.41)
And this beautiful people is my favorite thus far.
"Try to find pleasure in a speed that you're not used to. Changing the way you do routine things allows a new person to grow inside of you." (p.43)
I'll share more....I promise
"Those who wander are not always lost."
