The Return

[Felipe Sanchez]

Greetings and Salutations:

After informing of my abandonment of Gocamino and Santiagobis, I was most
surprised and gratified by the personal responses urging me to reconsider.
As an old, bald, practicing curmudgeon with few acquaintances and no
friends, I live alone with my words and a waiting, critically silent world.
Many of you broke the silence, touching me where I live, and as a result I
am once again among you.  No, this is not a second coming but I thank you
wholeheartedly.  I shall monitor your postings avidly and from time to time
offer what I can.  My gratitude to Ms. L. Davidson and Pieter for their
support.  This is but one more example of the transforming power of the
Camino experience.  Almost a year has gone by since I started in SJPP and I
am still being touched by the event.  If I may paraphrase, "The Camino works
in mysterious ways..."  Felipe Sanchez
