Re Phone Calls Home

[Gabrielle Milanich]

I understand Terry's dilemma with receiving so many posts from GOCAMINO.  But
if I may just add my opinion on this, I have to say I rather like the
communal feeling of the list and familial relationships that are forged.
I've also found that its easy to just delete the subjects that don't interest
me - though I'll be honest and say that happens very rarely.

After reading Linda's message I find that I too would like to read about
matters other than the "practical."  Although once again, I realize I've been
guilty of asking some mundane questions.  My apologies.  However, let me say
that I really appreciate the more mundane threads as some have asked
questions that I hadn't thought of.  I do empathize with those of you who
feel you have to wade through the cacophony of newbie voices.  Further, I
don't know how much I can contribute re: the historical and aesthetic aspects
of the pilgrimage, but I would love to learn more.  I've just begun Linda's
book and am seeing how rich a path this truly is.  For example, I find I am
fascinated by the Templar associations.  Additionally, I will soon be
entering a graduate program in religious studies and folklore, so any of the
mythology of the Way or its surrounding folklore would be a fantastic topic!

If I may reiterate that I, for one, truly enjoy hearing (reading) all of the
voices.   If we limited (dare I say censored?) some of those voices I think
we may be depriving ourselves.  That's just my opinion.  I have every
intention of continuing on this list for quite some time regardless.  I
cannot wait until I return and share my experiences with you.

With love,
Gabrielle
