337/499 … Live like the river (10/20/08)

Mom & I had planned to meet in Vega de Valcarce, and yet I knew I was way ahead of her and it was already glimmering into darkness. I didn’t think there was any way for her to make it to me — and the hostel at VdV had a funky vibe (pay attention to life’s vibes!), so I walked on a few more kilometers to Ruitelan.

“May what I do flow from me like a river,

no forcing and no holding back;

the way it is with children.”

~ Rainier Maria Rilke
