A couple of years ago when I was just starting to let people know that I was going to walk the Camino I went on a trip to New York City with my Mom. We went on a tour to St. John the Divine Church near Harlem. When I walked into the church I walked over to the left because the stained glass had caught my eye. I walked closer to the stained glass and then looked down and there were crests of the different Saints on the floor and I was standing in front of this one.
So I know that this is exactly where I am suppose to be.
I still have my cold and it has made for slower days but we are keeping our schedule.
Tomorrow we will walk to La Cruz de Ferro. The saying is that you bring a rock from home to leave behind something at the cross. I brought my rock all the way from Ottawa and I am leaving it behind. You can also leave a stone that represents your future. So I chose one today and I walked with it sorting through what I would like my future to look like. I hope that it will be filled with love and kindness (and probably a Masters Degree, at some point).
I will be thinking of you all tomorrow.
Love
Lauralee
I am sending you positive and healthy energy to help you bust through your cold! I remember your story of the St. James plaque when you came back from NYC, such a beautiful calling. I came across another podcast you might be interested in, although I haven't listened to much yet, it's called CBC Unrserved.

ReplyDeleteThank you for the tip and the positive thoughts, Mallory. The cold is lingering a bit but not near as bad as it was originally. We have 8 days of walking to go and we will be in Santiago. See you soon. Lauralee
