Day 100k: Back into the Solitude … (July 23, 2019)

At some point thereafter I made it past the path’s turn off to O’Pedrouzo – the town where the majority of that leg’s pilgrims chose to stop for the day – and it was at that same point that the path was cleared for a time from the noise and frenzy of fellow walkers, and The Way itself once again opened UP in peace before me …

Walking is a perfect way of moving if you want to see deep into the life of things; a true way of freeing the Soul to See.
