it has been a few days since we have had good internet so I am behind. <i had a quite moving expereince in a small 11 century rural church. I left prayers for those whom I promised to carry their na mes on my pilgrimage. and others of course. The days seem to go by and even two days ago seem ancient history. i have left behind all the worrys and hopes of the regular life and have become focused only the plan for today and tomorrow. the pilgrimage journey offers an opportunity to live Jesus suggestion of not worrying about tomorrow since today have enought worries of its own.
We are in a wonderful albergue tonight. Rabbit stew for dinner with white wine in the 12 century renovated building. Tomorrow we are taking an extra break day and taking the bus to our next stop. A pilgrim doesnt have conquear the world. wisdom is taught to us if we but listen to our body and souls.
Pamplona was wild. we walked through the city one hour after the running of the bulls. The streets were filthy. Blood, piss, vomit, drunks still drinking and garbage. There were people sleeping in the parks and drinking on every corner
our journey continues and we find ourselves first before offering ourselves to others
PEACE to All
Bill
