Tomorrow I travel to Portugal to start my first ever pilgrimage: a 280km trek along 'The Portuguese Way' from Porto to Santiago de Compostela in Spain, the reknowned destination for Pilgrims all over Europe; a fortnight of putting one foot in front of the other, day after day; a fortnight immersed in nature with time to let my mind wander; a fortnight to make human contact with like-minded people, and maybe learn something about myself.
I'm not expecting an epiphany, or anything nearly so profound, but I 'am' looking forward to finding that 'thin place' and finding a place of contentment and self-awareness within myself.
Here's to my biggest walk yet 👣
