250/499 … Acceptance persists (10/11/08)
After another verrrry long day of walking, one in which I had been turned away by several hostels after they heard that I was a mendicant (a pilgrim walking The Way without money), I came to the town of Moratinos.
The first thing I noticed on its outskirts were these Spanish wine-cellars, known as “bodegas”. I remember laughing out loud as I, in a state of pseudo-delirium, shouted “Hobbits!” with sincere delight … 😉
“You can do anything you steadily purpose to do.
Unless you happen to aim for something
that seeks to enslave the free will of another,
only vacillation can defeat you.”
