Today's the day...Ultreya!

Ultreya is a Spanish medieval word meaning "Onward!"
Today is departure day. I have to wonder how our lives will be altered by this upcoming experience. To shed the daily life and routines we're accustomed to, to live without material excesses and pare it all down to what is absolutely necessary...to live in the moment and to keep a simple rhythm with ourselves and nature....these are the things we anticipate. Though there may be challenges, this journey offers a great sense of freedom and possibilities. It's exciting to stretch beyond probabilities and expectations! In just a few hours we'll be on the plane. It will be time to fully let go...The planning is over and now it is just time to BE!
Ultreya!

  1. There will be many challenges! Keep watch for the little 'Camino Devil" who sits on the shoulders of passing pilgrims and whispers in their ears: "Why are you putting yourself through this?"
    "You don't HAVE to do this - who are you trying to impress?"
    "Get the bus, or the train. to Santiago and have a nice holiday there."
    Ignore him and your expectations will be fullfilled!
    Buen camino peregrinas!
