This is the third day of walking and your body is realizing that you are going to keep doing this and not stop. The above title is from a book I read that I referenced in an earlier post. If you allow it, the Camino can be a full workout: mind, body and spirit.
We began walking by 8 today (very late by Camino standards) and enjoyed a great day and clear weather (despite weather forecast for rain - it seems forecasting is not much different in Europe).
I am finding myself getting further from the time oriented/"control" life and getting familiar with being present and seeing what He has for this moment, this conversation, and this day. Letting go of habits is tough to do, especially when I have worked so hard to make things pleasant, easy, no - risk, and predictable.
It is amazing to see how much of scripture deals with walking, paths, journey, ways, or feet. One of our verses for the day relates to these themes: "Make me to know your ways, Oh Lord; teach me your paths" (Psalm 25)
Quote of the day:
Thomas "I am glad you came with me"
Kristina "I am glad you came with me"
