Walking the Camino's Way

Here I am -- the Camino‘s most joyful garbage man (I didn‘t collect all of this trash
myself today -- merely the bag on top) … I don‘t even know why I started picking up
trash while walking The Way. I just started one day a few days into the Journey, and
kept doing it for several weeks thereafter … I would simply find a plastic bag on the
side of the Path, and that would be my cue to start collecting all the garbage I saw
alongside the Path — and I simply did so until that particular bag was full. Then I
would throw the bag of trash away and look for the next one … It felt good --
somehow just plain ―right‖ -- to care for the Camino in this manner.

everything gives way and nothing stays fixed.‖

village (possibly Villatuerta – just before Estella) …

without you.‖ ~ George Harrison
