Defeated! I surrender to the “Camino de Santiago”! Accumulative exhaustion eventually overcomes. Whatever your weakness - it will be known and scream mercy. Like a horse being “broken” or the straw that “broke” a camel’s back – the edge of discomfort cuts deep. The intellect searches for the path of least resistance, but when no easy path is found frustration, rage, and upset take hold. Bitter you resist until it’s understood acceptance is the easiest path (or shall I say, “Camino”). It has taken me a long time to stop fighting and just tolerate what is presented. Like the ebb and flow of the ocean tide, or weather, it just is. I feel at peace, and everything that had been an issue before has slipped away into some distant background chatter. Smiling… 600km done… 200km to go. P.S. Money can’t buy you happiness but it can sure buy you a great meal, clean sheets, and a nice hotel room. Have a wonderful day and acceptance, tolerance, and peace to you. Please comment.
