A year ago, I embarked on a life-changing journey by walking the
ancient Spanish pilgrimage route, The Way of St. James, popularly known as the Camino to Santiago de Compostela.
The experience of walking in preparation for the 100 km stretch to
earn the certificate of a pilgrim (credencial)
deepened my awareness of life as an inner journey. Letting go, shedding the
baggage of daily tasks to free myself in pursuit of the sacred was a spiritual
exercise that opened a window into this inner world.
