Day 11 - O Mexiofrio - October 8

I slept well at the Albergue Camino Real. Which isn’t to say I didn’t still get up at 6 am. I think most of the pilgrims were out the door before I was. This morning I left alone, yet still was part of a group of peregrinos. Most of them passed me, it’s true. But a set of 5 or 6 people stayed at my hiking speed, though we passed each other numerous times.  I walked past a small barn that…

Day 10 - Finding My Personal Reason for My Pilgrimage - MidDay: October 7

In March of this year, I was suddenly ill with a worsening chest pain over my heart. I was so debilitated I needed a handicap placard and was trying to figure out how to get a wheelchair to take me from my car to the cardiologist’s office, when things finally eased up a bit.  I had knew something had been going on for a while; I’d had signs of heart failure for over a year, but all normal tests.…

El aumento

No todo se consigue a la fuerza ni rápido. Cada objetivo tiene sus procesos y tiempo. Debemos ser sabios y saber cuando usar la fuerza y cuando no. La fuerza puede ser una ayuda pero no se logra todo, debemos usar la cabeza también siendo sabios en cada paso que damos hacia donde nos estamos dirigiendo.

Está carta habla de calma pero la calma física y actuar de forma inteligente y paciente.

The MUXÍA Way, Day 2

Sauntering (thanks Thoreau for the explanation) through the Galician countryside...

Camino de Muxía, Etapa 2 – Negreira to Santa Mariña, 21.1 kilometers Negreira Outbound I woke up at 5:30 am in a coughing fit and clambered out of my top bunk, trying not to wake everyone in the albergue. Dragging my blanket with me, I went to the common area in the front of the building to work out my cough and gather my wits. The 1 euro vending machine coffee was the magical elixir. By the…
