The Camino teaches balance in not so obvious ways.
We push forward, but not so hard that we break.
Rest, but not so long that we fear going back to the trail.
Carry what we need, but let go of what only adds weight to a back pack that continues to feel heavier.
Help others, and be what “the Camino provides”.
Some days the right decision is walking.
Some days it is in listening to our bodies and resting.
Today, balance means honoring the rain, the slick stones, the climb ahead, and the wounded feet of those we love.
The Camino will still be there tomorrow.

As I took my 2 mile walks on nice smooth streets, I could only imagine what you guys went through daily ! What an accomplishment! Travel safe.
