Walking the Camino's Way

We make it to the outskirts of Estella. How
wonderful to be able to drink pure water from
a public fountain — even just outside a fairly
large city!
―Help us to be ever faithful gardeners of
the Spirit, who know that without darkness
nothing comes to birth, and that without light
nothing flowers.‖
~ May Sarton
Here, mom is resting a bit next to the pristine waters …
The engraving
on the wall next to
mom says, ―Good
bread, pure water
and wine, meat
and fish bring
Contentment.‖
Personally, I‘m
not so sure about
this one, unless we
attach the
archetypal
meanings to this
saying -- where
―bread‖ becomes
selfless service,
―pure water‖
becomes the connection to one‘s Soul, ―wine‖ become unconditional love, and ―meat
& fish‖ become the sustenance that come from our Caring interconnection with others
… Now those things do indeed bring complete Contentment!
―Grown men can learn from very little children, for the hearts of little children
are pure, and the Great Spirit may show to them many things which older people
miss.‖ ~ Black Elk
