It is the last stop. It is the ending place for pilgrims. It is where all go to. Finally here is the last rest, after a long travel, day by day. Bicycles (or feet) stop leaving horizons behind. And, as these ones, leaning on the wall of the cathedral, pilgrims leave their peace and gratitude inside. As it is inside, where their souls have the last and well deserved rest of their travel. Of this travel for the soul.
Always, pilgrims have awakened all kinds of feelings in people. Curiosity? reminds? lack of trust, maybe? respect? admiration? It isn’t so easy to understand why someone would walk such large distances, day by day, along all the time they need.
… each pilgrim knows. Each one knows his/her reasons.
Few things we need for a “Camino de Santiago”. Few as what we really need to be happy in life. A rucksack, with what we think we need in daily life, and a walking stick, a help for walking in difficult moments.
Paralelisms with our life are endless in this Path of Light.
