I am missing the Camino
I am missing the Camino. The day I hit Santiago, I thought, "Hmmm... I can cross this off my bucket list." Not too unlike the time I rode my bicycle down the coast of California. I was exhausted, not sure of myself, not sure of anything, except that I missed my home, my family, my friends, and the comforts of home. I thought to myself, "Why did I do this? Why did James call me? What was I thinking? Why was it that I could not refuse the nagging call to come to this place? A month has passed since I returned home, and that little voice just reared it's head again. Go AWAY!! Away I say! Do not taunt me with your vagabond pleasures! It was so hard. It was not like anything I have ever experienced. I ached every night. I lost toenails and felt smelly all the time. My feet abandoned me. And I them. It was if someone was playing a dirty trick on me. What is it about "The Way" that steals my heart and soul? I have run the race, done the time, why do you pester me with more?
