So this doesn't look to be her day yet! SHE is happy and content where she is. Apparently she's pretty smart. Warm. Cozy. Feed. Clothing totally optional. Why would she want to come out here. 'Cept maybe to meet the rest of us. Those voices that have been chatting to her thru the walls of her lovely cozy home.
In the mean while, yes I am still plotting and planning to mosey on over to Espana, leaving the new love of my life (not like she's gonna really notice...yet!) That process of planning, plotting and oh so importantly, purchasing stuffs for the pilgrimage goes on. Today I didn't get to hike but I did stumble to another blog, a year old now. In it the had this gem:
The Beatitudes of the Pilgrim

The Beatitudes of the Pilgrim
Blessed are you pilgrim, if your discover that the "Camino" opens your eyes to what is not seen.
Blessed are you pilgrim, if what concerns you most is not to arrive, as to arrive with others.
Blessed are you pilgrim, when you contemplate the "Camino" and you discover it is full of names and dawns.
Blessed are you pilgrim, because you have discovered that the authentic "Camino" begins when it is completed.
Blessed are you pilgrim, if your backpack is empting of things and your heart does not know where to hang up so many feelings and emotions.
Blessed are you pilgrim, if you discover that one step back to help another is more valuable then a hundred forward without seeing what is at your side.
Blessed are you pilgrim, when you don't have words to give thanks for everything that surprises you at every twist and turn of the Way.
Blessed are you pilgrim, if you search for the truth and make of the "Camino" a life and of your life a "way", in search of the One who is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
Blessed are you pilgrim, if on the way you meet yourself and gift yourself with time, without rushing, so as not to disregard the image in your heart.
Blessed are you pilgrim, if you discover that the "Camino" holds a lot of silence; and the silence of prayer; and the prayer of meeting with the Father who is waiting for you.
Love Glenn and Fr. Thom
My thanks to them for sharing.
