Fragment of Camino

A one-way pilgrimage to Santiago. All the footprints point in the same direction, cast in mud and baked dry while the dragon flies bask in the midday sun. 

To step onto the Camino is to step out of our everyday world and into a space where there is no hierarchy or status, a world where resilience and vulnerability naturally coexist, a world of kindness, good will, consideration and common purpose. Most of all, for me, it offers safe headspace which continues for years after the physical journey has ended.
