Shortening the Walk from SJPP

[Rosina Lila]

Hi Becky,
There are frequent, and wonderful, buses, all the way through the French Way.
Some pilgrims love the meseta, with its seemingly endless, comfortably the
same, expanses of yellow-orangy colors, somewhat reminiscent of Iowa cornfields
without the tall corn; others pilgrims just love abundant green trees
blanketing up-and-down hills and valleys crisscrossed by cool green rivers. Some of us
just can't resist the other worldliness feeling of standing on O Cebreiro,
literally, above the clouds.
Many of us go back, time and time again, to feel it all..... all so very
different, and so very much the same.
I, myself, as a New Yorker in love with winter and early snows, wouldn't have
missed the Pyrenees and O Cebreiro for all the world. Yet, my sister in law,
from mountainless and winterless Savannah Georgia, waxes rhapsodically over
Fromista in the Meseta (of all places!).
Someone once likened motherhood to love saying that both are the mirror upon
which we see are ourselves.
The Camino is pretty much that..... a love mirror with many facets.
