I am a practitioner of the great and wonderful "multitask". This quasi sacred practice is essential to the performance of my job and it brings me peace and clean sox in my personal life. Making preparations for my pilgrimage requires it's own set of tasks and lists, many being performed and formed long before I set foot in Spain. Planning ahead makes me feel good. Planning ahead while making lists while buying equipment while reading books about the art, architecture, history and culture of the Pilgrimage Road to Santiago makes me delirious. But, I ask myself, what am I neglecting here? As a pilgrim, I will walk two paths simultaneously, bringing my tired body and my neglected soul to Spain and dropping them onto The Way. Walking together they will slowly heal and rejuvenate, with time and contemplation. This is my hope.
To get my body prepared for the many miles, I think I know how,but don't I need to prepare my spirit to receive and open to the wonders that await?
