April 9, 2016

Just twenty days until departure for the Camino and over the past five months, while I have trained and prepared, recognition sneaked up on me. Not what you might think that he's too old to be doing this but rather the real and true reason I am doing this.
Some of you know that my mother was a devout Episcopalian and the organist for each church in each city that my father moved us to as he built his career. My brother, sister and I, as accolytes or choir members, accompanied Mom in her church duties. It was only after hours and miles on the local trails, that I came to realize that I was longing for that time...that spirituality. So I set forth not on an endurance test of my abilities at age 72 but in a quest for feeling long past.

Soy Un Peregrino!
