Walking Sticks

[Gabrielle Milanich]

Howard,

I love hearing stick stories!  Maybe the previous owner of your newly found
stick no longer needed it, or maybe it was never really intended for them,
but for you.  Maybe they just carried it to a place where it would be easily
found by you.  In any event, I think you found the right stick for your
journey.

When I walked, I carried a Leki which was a fine thing.  But I have to admit
to missing the feel of wood in my hand, as I have a staff that I've used for
local walks for many years.  There were times that I saw sticks on the side
of the path that looked pretty inviting.  I remember on the way from
Villafranca to Cebreiro I saw a man who had carved walking sticks into great
swirls and spirals.  They were just too cool!  But I didn't have enough cash
on me so I had topass them up.  If he's there next time, I will surely buy
one.

Anyone else with interesting walking stick stories?

regards,
Gabrielle
