"Mature" walking

[dandekay]

Ah, the Camino.  So often referred used as a metaphor for life itself.  We
all have our own pace; we eat when we want, sleep where we want (afternoon
naps in a quiet meadow?),  experience it from our own unique point of view.
And learn from it what it has to teach us, perhaps sharing our lessons with
others along the Way.  Like life itself.
            Daniel
