Adventure trips & time for presence

People walk the Camino for many reasons. My own first walk in 2012 was about getting into gear and feeling myself after several years of work rush and generally a lot to look forward to - but after a week I was instead quite exhausted after many long days and no less stressed than when I had left home. There had also been good moments along the way, but I had not managed to slow down and surrender to mindfulness. All the time on the way to the next thing, busy counting km. and controlling the day's progress with my little head.

A special part of the experience of walking the Camino is the many meetings and moments with other travelers. Most people walk, others cycle, and several times I have met pilgrims on horseback, or with a donkey as a companion. It is easy to get into conversation about the day's challenges, and whatever else we want to share with each other. A community quickly develops, and then it is funny how you meet each other again and again, like when my father and I ran into most of our new Camino friends in Santiago. Ready for a last toast with Irene, Mette, Jan, Valdemar and the Canadian professor.

At the entrance to the village of Hospital de Orbiego I met Mincho, who looked like a mix of a local farmer, an Indian and Jesus with his long hair and warm smile. - How are you? Where are you going today? Mincho took out his business card and told me a little about the facilities at Albergue Verde. At first I thought "go hippie", but after a short break in the town square, I walked past Albergue Verde, where Mincho met me at the garden gate. He asked me again, and I replied that I was actually well-used and had a bad foot. "Don't worry, the Camino will heal you", Mincho responded with a smile, and suddenly I collapsed, overwhelmed with emotions. "Take your time". I relaxed a bit in the garden, and soon I was ready for a little tour. A lovely stay with pleasant conversations, my first good experiences with yoga and an extra night at the warm hostel with time and energy for most things.
