Walking the Camino's Way

October 01, 2008 … Communicating with the Divine
Yesterday, while we were eating lunch, a man who appeared to be homeless
approached us and asked for money. I gave him a few Euros and we chatted a bit
before he ambled away. He didn‘t go too far, though, and I noticed that he had the air
of a traveler about him — not that of a Camino pilgrim, mind you, but that of a
Traveler; someone who actually lives a nomadic existence. He simply seemed calm
— somehow smoothly at One with his surroundings … Anyway, as he was departing,
he came back to our table and gave me a car-radio antenna. It was wrapped in its
original packaging and everything! I gratefully accepted this bizarre and Wonder-full
gift, and wore it on my pack for many days thereafter.
