Taking a walk on the ancient pilgrimage route in northwestern Spain has become for me an essential annual time out for reflection and rejuvenation.
It all started some 17 years ago when I was not in a very good place stuck in a dysfunctional relationship and a stressed-out job. My thoughts
revolved around starting to live at some point in the distant future. A friend who took pity on me advised me to walk the famous pilgrimage route, the Camino de Santiago in northwestern Spain.
Like many first-time walkers on the Camino, I was obsessed about reaching my destination at a certain time in order to secure my place in a bunk bed in a
pilgrims' hostel. The Camino is in so many ways an analogy of life which is why it has become such a popular destination for modern-day spiritual seekers.
How many times in life does the universe send warning whispers that we have missed a waymarker and are on the wrong path? How obsessed are we with
things we think we need but insist on keeping them in our backpack?
