Walking the Camino's Way

And then, we get our first sign of the ―Tissue Bandit‖ …
I at first was critical of whoever was littering the Path with these sneezecatchers,
until I realized after a time that they were always perfectly clean and always
left in places where one might otherwise stray from the Path. Mom was even saved
once from getting lost by seeing a tissue ahead of her on the trail. As such, I came to
remember that life‘s ―bandits‖ are often actually its ―saviors‖ — and that seeing the
difference between the two is only a question of attitude.
―Acceptance and tolerance and forgiveness; now those are the life-altering
lessons.‖ ~ Jessica Lange
This lovely group of ―singing
Swiss‖ was walking the Camino and
stopping in every church along the
way to sing a hymn. Here, Mom & I
were blessed with an impromptu
concert during a rest stop along The
Way …
―Happiness is not so much in
having as sharing. We may make a
living by what we get, but we make a
life by what we give.‖
