In less than four weeks we are off again on a pilgrimage on the Camino. We are travelling without the assistance of our daughter and her spanish language skills so I have been practising what spanish I have. This time we have not made reservations allowing ourselves to walk as little or as much as we wish on any particular day.
We have chosen to walk the Camino again because we want to re capture the feeling of endless days, and living in the moment. Last time we were transistioning in our lives as I began a new job and our daughter had just finished her University. Life is full of changes but now that I have been at Trinity Memorial in Abbotsford for two years and Kelly has moved on from her work we are looking to have time to think about the "What nexts" in our lives.
I will be better connected this time and able to post more often. I hope as well to reflect on the deep metaphor of pilgrimage and journey and the journey the church in our changing culture. In 2012 I found that the camino was a "metaphor rich" environment. I have been able to use the stories of our walk in sermons and teaching these past two years. Hopefully the congregation won't get tried of me talking about it.
Stay posted. Bill
