Can you show me your license, registration and Intentions please?
Intentions have been at the core of my Camino de Santiago experience lately. And because that experience was online, mostly on Facebook, one’s intentions must be called into consideration. Hell, one’s existence must be called into consideration after I found out about 30% of the Participants who were commenting and running Camino de Santiago group pages didn’t exist. Continue reading
Heroes of The Camino: Scene One.
A small scene between three experienced Heroes of The Camino de Santiago. Continue reading
Communion at the Everflowing Fountain. Not My Camino, Chp 18.
Church after church we entered, sometimes together, sometimes she went in alone. There may have been one or two that I saw which didn’t, but only because she was already in a church. Continue reading
Estella and Lucid Dreaming. Chp 17. Not my Camino.

The Biggest Albergue in the World! meh.
Stacy and I came out of the Pyrenees, wind blown and exhausted. So exhausted that the walls of the Roncevalles Orreaga albergue which loomed over us like a 1960’s Hammer Vampire film didn’t impress us. They should have, and on … Continue reading
Seeing the Albergues the ‘Right’ Way.
As we have discussed before, despite being on a pilgrim path, I was not Pilgrimming. I was not in the act of Pilgrimation. I was not a Pilgrim. Unirregardless of this redundancy, I figured I should study some Buddhism since … Continue reading
