408/499 … resting from rest (10/27/08)

Pilgrim’s Pit-stop @ Arca de Pino … After getting a snack at this little cafe, we headed through the outskirts of town and saw a sign for a neat little hotel, where we chose to stay for the night. We could have gone on t a hostel on down the road, and yet it was almost as if we were purposefully slowing down now near the end — maybe trying to savor the last few days of the Journey.

“If they say to you: Whence have you come?, say to them: We have come from the light, the place where the light came into being of itself … If they ask you: What is the sign of your Father in you?, say to them: It is movement and it is rest.” ~ Jesus (Gospel of Thomas 50)
