Addiction?

[Channing Thieme]

Compulsion?  Almost there - but lacking the paradox of being hooked on a good thing.  Channing

  Channing:  What do you think of 'compulsion'?  An irresistible impulse to act, regardless of the rationality of the motivation.  Felipe

    Robert and Felipe, your messages are exquisite, accentuating my own longing to return to the Camino.  Addiction?  I looked it up in three dictionaries, hoping to find a replacement for the word.  All of the synonyms are just as negative (dependence, craving, indulgence, enslavement ....).  So be it.  We're hooked!   We're happily, gloriously addicted to the healthiest thing I, for one, have ever done.  
     
    Buen Camino, Robert!
