Alexa is off for the day with our good Camino friend and companion, Steve who came to see us from Ireland...
and I find myself a bit listless...and contemplative.
Cafe con leche is first and foremost at the start of this day, like everyday on the Camino...
When I return home I have a list of meal customs (and dishes) that will become a part of my daily life, and one of them is hot milk with hot coffee in the morning!
I have been writing in my journal, listening to the music that has accompanied me over the past two months, and reading poetry that I either brought with me or that came to me along the way...
This is one favorite poem to share before I head out for the next part of my day,
in beautiful sunny Lisbon...
We shape ourself
to fit this world
and by the world
are shaped again.
The visible
and the invisible
working together
in common cause,
to produce
the miraculous.
I am thinking of the way
the intangible air
passed at speed
round a shaped wing
easily
holds our weight.
So may we, in this life
trust
to those elements
we have yet to see
or imagine,
and look for the true
shape of our ownself,
by forming it well
to the great
intangibles about us.
