preparation for camino

[David planning Le Chemin de St Jacques/El Camino de Santiago]

I will finally be starting from Cluny on April 10.   I just spent several
days at Taize in France which I recommend as preparation for anybody
contemplating a Christian spiritual experience.     www.taize.fr
I can't imagine a better preparation for the Camino experience than singing
wonderful simple prayers together three times a day
in Latin, French, German,Spanish, English... when
it gets Slavic though, I just listen.   I bought a little pendant made
by the brothers that represents one
of the prayers that spoke to and for me in particular:
"Jesus le Christ, lumiere interieure,
Ne laisse pas mes tenebres me parler"

I don't know how to make accents with this computer, my apologies
to the francophones.

The route from Cluny to Le Puy, is described in a new book from Chamina
available from amazon.fr     Some links on my page http://camino.oakapple.com
