Anti-American Sentiment on the Camino-Tangent

[Xosé Manuel Alvariño]

Friends, 

I believe that the topic at hand is very much connected to the purpose of 
this  forum and needs to be discussed as often as necessary. We need to care, 
and be seriously concerned, about anything that may affect anyone of us, 
whoever and wherever we come from, as we walk "el" and "los" camino(s). To 
dismiss this subject for whatever reason(s) is like wanting to block the sun 
with 1 finger-get real. We need to feel free and talk about whatever is 
bothering us related to el C.

Don't forget, there's always DELETE &/or ignoring reality.

There are terrible wars going on in different parts of the world, not just 
one. Hundreds of people are suffering excruciatingly and  dying, because of 
wars. Let's be proactive and do whatever it is we can to stop them, including 
violence in the areas where we may live, or everyday, destructive polemics 
among us, they are also "wars."  

I believe that we, US folks, should not go to Spain in hiding, with fear, or 
apologetic of who we are, where we come from, feeling that we have to,  or 
not, defend this administration or this war. For if this is the spirit in 
which anyone intends to do this Camino, think about it twice, this may not be 
your time for it. 

All sorts of constructive thoughts are being shared in this forum regarding 
which may  hopefully help us as we gain new, different, or greater, insight, 
as to who we are and what the world "over yonder" may be about, such as we 
have never had to before. That's great,it's  growth, and it's happening right 
in our PCs as we read off these words. Imagine what God has in store for us 
as we do the Camino, whether we know why we are doing it, or not, but know 
that we have to do it, NOW!

I believe in the power of prayer, let's start plugging into it, it's free, 
accessible and leads to the highest source.

El Señor Santiago is there for us-come on, let's get going, what r we waiting 
for?

Abrazos d Xosé Manuel
