and I love it!
I recently asked a small circle of close friends and family
to write,
on a 3x5 card,
words of encouragement
that I can open and read for daily inspiration
when the going on the Camino gets tough.
(Yes, I'm willing to carry the extra weight;
the words enclosed in the envelopes will, no doubt,
lighten my emotional burden enough
to warrant the decision.)
to warrant the decision.)
The first ones arrived the other day -
on the same day as my Camino 'passport'!
Coincidence?
No, I didn't think so either!
It's getting VERY real!
Can I just mention that NOT opening the letters immediately
is a new form of spiritual discipline for me?
How wonderful to have a whole packet of presents
waiting to be discovered -
one every day -
as a reward
for getting up
and trying to walk!
