sent me down the following thought path
The verse is:
Some things take so long
But how do I explain
When not too many people
Can see we’re all the same
And because of all their tears
Their eyes can’t hope to see
The beauty that surrounds them
Now, isn’t it a pity
———
This verse is how we let other issues not let us see the beauty around us
In this context it is the weather or the pack or the aching feet or the distance to go …any myriad of things that we allow to distract
Right now lying in bed after only 21 km I feel all kinds of aches & pains
Neck, shoulders quads, top of right foot, right toe … to be expected still getting Camino fit…
Tomorrow it is 32km
An extra 12km to today’s trip
Oops
Hopefully there will be places to stop – we have been told the Camino path is flooded so we need to stick to highway to Zamora and after 7km there is a place to stop
Not a bad thing as there are less hills and vales on the highway
Got to find the positive
this Albergue was really great – for €2 got all dirty clothes washed & dried and also had a wonderful three course meal with options of vegetable soup, spaghetti bolognaise, salad, pudding plus water, red wine followed by a digestive ( hierber) – just have to bless the food as being picky about carbs is not possible
there are so many wonderful people along the way that help – especially for me with my poco espanjol
