Solitary

After finishing the Camino chapter in The Singular Pilgrim, it became clear to me my reason and purpose for taking on board that particular journey of solitude. It's almost an embodiment of my life, where I find myself ultimately following my feet down my own distinct path. No-one else is following me or walking alongside and I find I need to put my hope and trust in something greater than myself. And to take this step out there and actually physically put myself in a situation where I am truly alone then I will clearly be put to the test. I hope to succeed.

The realisation that I am still as solitary a creature as I was years ago is a bit of a life starter. I have often times waited around for others to follow, or for me to tag along. It really is time I beat my own path, to give a wave from my future direction and send a postcard with love to those I inevitably leave behind.

So the Camino for me will be an acknowledgement to myself that my direction is worth it and that's where you'll find me.
