Day 15

Day 15: Logrono to Navarrete - 13 km

Me: "How long do you have to walk the Camino?"
Vincent from Germany: "I have time enough."

The Way has been slow and steady, but I feel like there is time enough to walk AND enjoy time resting, appreciating, and falling more and more in love with the land and the people and the culture.

Aloys from Holland: "One of the lessons from the Camino is to live in the present, even when you have an end goal."

It is amazing how, in a mere two weeks, the end goal of reaching Santiago is no longer at the forefront of my mind. Instead is getting up each day to spend time deepening relationships, walking together, opening our hearts and minds to all that is available to us.

I do still plan on walking all the way to Santiago. To reach the end goal. But each day, each walk, each conversation is now as much the purpose of the journey as is the end result.
