[Gocamino] the journey

[Kathy Gower]

Greetings,

I have read it and actually enjoyed it as a novel work of fiction...It's not 
meant to be a first person narrative as such, but rather an allegory for 
one's spiritual quest.

What rang true for me was the heroine's lapses into spiritual materialism, 
something even the most devout and serious seekers encounter and sometimes 
fall in to.  If you want, read it as a fable, similar to Paulo Coehlo's 
work...lots that rings true, but...is it real?  On some levels, yes, but not 
literally. It is not about the Camino or other pilgrimages, though those are 
in there, (as is adventure and rich description), but the quest for 
transformation itself...something I think we're all on in our own way.

Enjoyable if you are open to myths and stories,
k
