It had been my plan to walk one more day – from Finisterre to Muxia. Muxia is reported to be lovely, and the walk between the two places is supposed to be a great one. That was the plan for today.
But when I stood at the ocean yesterday, I had a sense that I was finished walking, something I did not feel when I stood in the square in front of the Cathedral in Santiago.
The albergue at which I am staying is a gem. Friendly, welcoming hospitaleras, a communal vegetarian meal in the evening, a meditation room, a nearby church with a noon Sunday Mass, and close access to a beach.
I made the decision last night to stay here one more night. So I will spend this day resting, processing some of the experiences of these past five weeks, sitting on a meditation cushion and in church, and walking on the beach.
Sounds like a good Sabbath day to me.
Perfect way to spend the day. You will be ruminating about these five weeks for years. Savor!
Bill McDonogh introduced me to your writing. Thanks for blogging, with strangers feeling welcome.
Glad you found your ending. Continue your buen camino mi amiga.
What a journey! Thank you for finding time to share it so generously with us over these weeks. And yes, as your friends says in a comment above, may your continue with the buen camino de su vida. Bendigas!
Susan, your post for arriving came up in my memories on FB today, as I had shared it back in 2013. I have been in the midst of reliving my own camino memories each day from 9/17 to today. We walked from 9/18/16 until arriving in Santiago on 10/22/16. Revisiting that post and reading a few others warms my heart… I followed your posts so closely then, never imagining tht I would take the same journey. Peace to you Susan, and may you return. Ultreia!
