078/499 … to make a Life (09/24/08)

This lovely group of “singing Swiss” was walking the Camino and stopping in every church along the way to sing a hymn.  Here, Mom & I were blessed with an impromptu number during a rest stop along The Way … “Happiness is not so much in having as sharing. We may make a living by […]

082/499 … to name the Nameless (09/24/08)

086/499 … to be with the ARE (09/24/08)

088/499 … let Love flow (09/24/08)

… entering Pamplona. I remember feeling more than a little weird in this large city, surrounded by so many people. After the deep Peace of the countryside, it took a little getting used to … Maybe that is why we only paused here for a short while before heading to the next village to spend […]
