Is it about the walking
It seems so very far
Camino only looked at me
“Tienes que empezar”
I started up a mountain
Not knowing where it goes
And sliding down the other side
Lost unas from my toes
I cannot be discouraged
I rose before the sun
And walked another grueling day
But finished before one
I just might get the hang of this
While making many friends
The joy to see a smiling face
And blisters on the mend
Camino is a metaphor for life
It’s long and full of trials
For every trial you surely pass
There are treasures by the miles
The simple pleasure of the sights
The tastes and vistas too
They all bring back the best of life
And all the treasures too.
Buen Camino one and all

Look at the skinny pilgrim! Did you lose some toenails? I can tell! 🙂

Congratulations Michael!! As you finish your Camino, I begin serious planning and training for mine next spring. I am doing the “Via de la Plata”, starting 1 April at Merida north of Seville, with my German friend, also a Michael. I must say that your extraordinary accomplishment and blog have given me hope that I too will wave my certificate in front of the cathedral. Much to talk about in our coming trip January-February.
