Camino-Tangent</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT face=arial,helvetica><FONT lang=0 face="Comic Sans MS"
size=2 FAMILY="SCRIPT">Friends, <BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>Don't forget, there's always DELETE &/or ignoring
reality.<BR><BR>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." <BR><BR>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. <BR><BR>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!<BR><BR>I believe in the power of prayer, let's start plugging into it,
it's free, accessible and leads to the highest source.<BR><BR>El Señor
Santiago is there for us-come on, let's get going, what r we waiting
for?<BR><BR>Abrazos d Xosé Manuel<BR><BR>PS: Congrats to the friend who
said: "use your common sense."
