[Gocamino] Shadows

[Blaroli at aol.com]

Hello you all, ....again.
As mentioned before, I've been quite ill throughout the summer, but, 
apparently, I'm getting much better, in no little measure due to the affectionate 
concern of so many Camino friends, particularly those in the Pilgrims' office in 
Santiago, who have faxed, phoned and written to me constantly with loving words 
of encouragement, and to the prayers of, among others, the nuns who take care 
of the Santiago Cathedral and who have become very dear friends.
Kat Gower, of the American Pilgrims, has also been a source of getting-well 
inspiration on this side of the Atlantic..
So... to the chagrin of my partners... I'll go back to the dear occupation of 
passing on Camino news and information that may come my way. 
Thank  you all for your nice messages.  You know, little things do mean a 
lot.

A young Mexican pilgrim who had  lost his wife, wrote a hauntingly beautiful 
poem about the inexorable,  and deathless,  connection between what was and 
what is as  continued by shadows...... as in the Camino.
Reading the poem left me in tears  and breathless with recognition of those 
companion spiritual existences in the Camino.... at night.... around the  
Cathedral..... in Eunate....in  Roncesvalles....in Viana,  and in so many places.
I'll send the poem to those of you who may want to read it.
Hugs!
