Two days to Santiago

Wow it has been so beautiful these past days. Then sun is shining continuously and my nose can feel it. The path is becoming more crowded as there are so many more people when you get close to Santiago. But much less after walking to the ocean. The landscape has been completely epic everyday with amazing paths with shaded trees, pine forests, eucalyptus trees, little villages more ofter and rarely walking on main roads. This is what I imagined the Camino to be. The excitement in peoples faces is growing as we all know we will be there soon.
My body is holding up well and to this day I have had only one blister which is a miracle in itself. I usually change my socks halfway through the day. My hip is the only constant problem but you really learn to smile through pain. It´s not that bad really. Next steps are bringing me closer and closer to Santiago. Two days and then three more to the ocean.
The truths of the road are becoming clearer and clearer to me each day. The interesting thing is that most of life is an interconnected series of strings that we can either acknowledge or totally ignore. The problem is that when we are in our daily lives, repetition sets in and we forget to look with intrigue to where these strings may be at work. These connections are what brings meaning and purpose to most of the little, random, and regularly insignificant happenings in our daily life. When you have a bit more time to reflect and engage, these connections become monumental and you end up listening more to the world around you. The camino provides the space and time to utilize such reflections. The key is to make this time in our daily lives. Look for the strings and realize there is no man/woman behind the curtain. There is only a curtain if you accept it. You are the Wizard and Oz is everywhere, just follow the yellow arrows. Love to you all!!
