<div>Frans's message, with the poem sent in by Xose Manuel and his
translation, reminded me that the local Camino association in the SJPP
area (Association Les Amis du Chemin de Saint-Jacques - Pyrénées
Atlantiques) have a poem on their publicity material which, as far as

Tu as rendez-vous<br>
où, avec qui?<br>
Tu ne le sais pas encore,<br>
Avec toi peut-être<br>
<br>
Marche<br>
Seul, avec d'autres<br>
mais sors de chez toi<br>
Tu te fabriquais des rivaux<br>
Tu trouveras des compagnons<br>
Tu te voyais des ennemis<br>
Tu te feras des frères<br>
<br>
Marche<br>
ta tête ne sais pas<br>
où tes pieds<br>
conduisent ton coeur<br>

chant composé par les moines de l'Abbaye de Bellocq (P.A.)<br>

Walk<br>
You have a meeting<br>
where, who with?<br>
You don't yet know<br>
With yourself, perhaps<br>
<br>
Walk<br>
Alone, with others<br>
but leave your home<br>
You have been imagining rivals<br>
You will find companions<br>
You have been seeing enemies<br>
You will find brothers<br>
<br>
Walk<br>
your head does not know<br>
where your feet<br>
are taking you</font></div>
