The Camino de Santiago is much more than a route of pilgrimage is not just a way to follow a preset destination, it is also an inner journey and is primarily a reflection of your life and yourself that certainly defines you and youIt helps to understand you.
Way of life reflection. |
The first day I just wanted to be alone and walk without stopping. He was running from something, he was running around. I walked hurriedly for 5 km into gear now I think too, but my body was asking me at the time. Other pilgrims said "Looks like you're a little fast not?" "Will you packed" and it was, but I needed to clear my mind as soon as possible, it was over stimulated and sought only solitude and let me wrap up by nature.

But this effort was promptly paid over and soon wound and was already at the beginning of the second stage continues with a groin pull that lasted all day. I lowered the pace gradually and as the past 5 Km wanted really enjoy and I began to concentrate on what was around me, to relax and noticing details that at first glance escape. It was fantastic. Suddenly the rain came in the middle of a hot day, it really felt like a baptism, as a purge. After the rain she came back the sun, which then appreciated more and started to be aware of the road and its meaning.
Increasingly feel like sharing the road with someone and almost inadvertently began to appear in my different way people, some I established an instant connection with other nothing, as in life itself.
The next day I got up really tired and decided not to go. Sometimes you have to learn to say no, you have to know when you have to stop.

This first day and all that followed showed me a lot of me as the go accelerated early or late pay, the need to balance your strength, how it is necessary to calm your mind to appreciate what you have around you and especially to be aware our limitations and my mistakes. Certainly a lesson in life.
