083/499 … on leaping & letting go (09/24/08)

Here she is! Mom & I walked the Camino with unique tempos, which had me typically walking ahead of her and then regularly waiting until she “caught up”. Today was one of the few exceptions. During a short water break, I was writing in my Camino journal and Mom blew right past without seeing me. of course, when I later stopped to wait on her, she never showed up!  No big deal, as word of our respective whereabouts traveled up and down the Path via other pilgrims until we met up here …

“Life is made up of a series of judgments based on insufficient data, and if we waited to run down all our doubts, it would flow past us.” ~ Learned Hand
