Finding the proper path out of Sanceboz was a bit tricky this very cold pre-dawn morning, and yet find it I eventually did, and things flowed quite smoothly for the first hour or so thereafter. Of course, I was walking through Camino-novitiate Switzerland, so it was only a matter of a very short time before the trail markers completely disappeared and I somehow found myself trudging along a path that was soon covered with overgrown and overly damp knee-high grass … :O … As could be expected, this was not at all to my liking, so I ambled over to some nearby train tracks and started walking alongside them instead. Do so for awhile until I look back and see that I had passed by a large cleft in the mountain range on my right. It was possible that this was the way I was supposed to have been walking and hop away from the tracks to head in that direction when a train “to Biel” (the day’s desired destination) blows by me and I decide to stay on the tracks a bit longer. I soon came across an access road that led off to the slight right and decide that walking along it would be far better than risk getting mowed down by a speeding Swiss locomotive. This turned out to be a provident decision, as the road soon broadened and led me right into the village of La Huette, where I found waymarkers for my dear friend the Camino, and set off along its pilgrim’s path once more … 🙂

“Avoid believing what your eyes are showing you and avoid listening to what your mind is mumbling. All either of them illuminate is limitation and illusion. Look with a heartfelt understanding instead. Gaze humbly upon your life’s happenstances and feel what you already know to be true. Do this, and you will always perceive the better direction in which to leap.” ~ inspired by Richard Bach
