340/499 … getting Fit (10/21/08)
Ruitelan is the commencement point for the steepest climb of the Camino — up to Ocebreiro. Maybe I was just getting fitter, but I didn’t find it all that challenging. I think the relative difficulty or ease of the particular stages of the Camino depend more on one’s inner state of Being than one’s level of physical fitness. Come to think of it, this seems true for Life in general as well.
“Strength does not come from physical capacity.
It comes from an indomitable will.” ~ M. Gandhi
