The top 4 questions about my Camino.

 The top 4 questions I get from family and friends as I share my Camino plans are:

  1. Are you crazy? 
  2. Will you post stories/pictures/videos along the way? 
  3. Are you really going alone?
  4. Why are you doing this?
The answer to question 1 is a solid "yes". My family and friends will all attest to that.

For question 2, I hope this blog will be the "yes" answer.

On number 3, my come back is always "Don't you know me? I'm never alone." I love to meet people, talk to folks, and make friends. I firmly believe I'll never be alone on the pilgrimage as I'll be surrounded by fellow pilgrims. And of course, I'll always have God with me. But that really is part of the answer to #4.

Why walk the Camino? That's a longer answer that I'm working on and I'll share my current 3 reasons in my next post.

Peace, MB

I had many competing thoughts and feelings about pilgrimage, perseverance, purpose, mission, call, love,… The list goes on. Mostly, how far did I want to go. All the way to the Atlantic, or would I stop sooner? One of my hiking companions, I think it was Pascal from Canada, mentioned the scene from Forrest Gump where he had been running back and forth across America. Then one day he just stopped. It was time. I liked that idea. I’d just know when it was time.  “I think I’ll Go Home Now” Irene (or Morpheus) A day or two later, I met my dear nurse friends over a drink in Golinhac. As I described my thoughts and feelings, Irene from Hong Kong spoke up. She looked at me, and with complete seriousness and immense insight, simply said, “You must choose.” I looked at her a little confused, and she repeated, “ ...
