The challenge before me
I am sitting in San Sebastian and tomorrow I begin a walk that is 2 years in the wanting. Not that I know too much about it, except that it has a spiritual history, and that it is in a country of my heritage. Never having done something like this before, all I can do is step over that precipice and see what is there. It is the ´gap´that I face now - between known and unknown. An adventure? for sure. And I am in a good frame of mind, and even though I have a cold and am physically tired, my mental state is ready for this.
I sat in the Santa Maria Basilica, sun streaming into the church through a smoky window and sat in peace for the first time for a while. Even knelt on the hard boards and said a prayer for courage and strength that I might need while walking for the next week at least. Who knows what lies before me so I can only put my trust in the power that is greater than me, knowing that everything will be, and has always been ok when I have trusted that power.
let the journey begin!!
