Call of the Camino

by Suzanne Redfearn

“The Camino has absorbed many tears,” he said at one point. “And it is a keeper of secrets.”

“It takes a certain type of person to embark on such a challenge—people who are open to new experiences and looking to grow and expand beyond who they are.”

Regardless of the ambition that puts you on the path, the Camino doesn’t bend to a pilgrim’s will, and the growth experienced by each who walks it is unpredictable.

“As Winnie the Pooh says, ‘How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.’”
