Dream state & Camino family

Stage 4: Yesterday we walked 23.6 km (almost 15 miles) from Pamplona to Puenta la Reina. The previous day painted an especially vivid contrast from the serene and isolated trek in rural Pyrenees to our walk into Pamplona, such a vibrant city. We drifted through the urban scape & stumbled upon Cafe Iruna - an exquisite setting and a savory dinner at Plaza de Castille - and later realized it was the storied hang out of Hemingway. Walking out of the beautiful sleeping city of Pamplona in the early morning hours and over the summit of Alto de Perdon brought me back to the inner journey as we climbed. The steep hike down and meandering through poppy fields and tiny villages occurred in an endless dream state. We found our albergue happily at the end of the day and extended our dinner as late as possible with our Camino sister who we had met on our first day in the airport and with whom we’ve been traveling every step. Many pilgrims walk one week- as their time allows and return back to the Camino to complete stages later in the year - as is her plan. It was a fond farewell, with a genuine sense of our profound enduring connection.

The photos are not only stunning, but also profoundly spiritual. I can only imagine what it's like in real life. Be fulfilled, Patty. Sending love, Sonia

    My Camino

    In May & June 2019, I walked el Camino de Santiago across the north of Spain. I walked the Camino for more than 1,000 kilometers (about 600 miles) from the foothills of the Pyrenees in France at St. Jean Pied de Porte, into Spain, to Santiago de Compostela, and then out to Finisterre and Muxia, the most Western tips of Spain. I walked to honor the entwining of the physical and spiritual in human experience, and to commemorate the memory of a loved one. I was on the Camino for 40 days, and my blog tells the launch only from my first 10 days of that journey.  Two months after returning home, in September I gave a talk, which expands on perspectives that emerged throughout the entire journey. It is available here in this video of a narrated powerpoint.
