Day 57o: A most resilient Return … (06/10/2019)
It was quite a few kilometers of walking from Bonnefon back to the Camino’s primary GR65 route, and I will freely admit that I found myself on more than one occasion that afternoon doubting whether I would indeed intersect with that glorious Path again that day. And yet I knew I walking in the overall correct direction (east-southeast), and I had faith that I would indeed one day reconvene with The Way. Far more importantly, I knew that it was The Walk itself that was the true service, regardless of whichever road that Walk happened to tread, and so it was relatively easy to persistently plod along — until I did indeed see a backpacked traveler approaching from a thin path to my right — and so it was that said path proved to be my long sought-after GR65 trail — and so it was that I was finally back on the Camino once more … 😀
“Resilience is not merely accepting a new and less-ideal reality. It is choosing to do something good & noble therewith, while being thankful for the opportunity to do so. Yes, we can fight the hard times, and we are also allowed to sit and do nothing but scream about what we’ve lost. And yet life will never be truly lived unless we choose to rise and walk onward, precisely in those moments we least wish to do so.” ~ inspired by Elizabeth Edwards
