Walking the Camino's Way

Mom didn‘t have any cash to pay for a hostel, so we used her credit card and
actually spent a night in a hotel. In the image below, Mom & I are sampling what
was by far the worst wine we drank the entire trip. At least it came in a pretty bottle
… By the way, I couldn‘t rest Peace-fully in our room that night, so got up and tried
to sleep on the floor of the hotel‘s reading lounge. A maid found me there, woke me
up, and then gave me my own room to sleep in -- for free!
―The path to our
destination is not always a
straight one. We go down
the wrong road, we get lost,
we turn back. Maybe it
doesn‘t matter which road
we embark on. Maybe what
matters is that we embark.‖
~ Barbara Hall
It just goes to show you: books & covers --
bottles & labels -- and people & behaviors …
―In all hero stories, the call to go on a
journey takes the form of a loss, an error, a
wound, an unexplainable longing, or a sense
of a mission. When any of these happens to us,
we are being summoned to make a transition.
It will always mean leaving something behind
…The paradox here is that loss is a path to
gain.‖ ~ David Richo
