Finisterre on the Full Moon in May

My intent was to be at Finisterre on the full moon in May, which was last weekend.

Instead, since my knee surgery last Wednesday, I have been sitting, only able to walk to the bathroom with crutches.

Walking The Camino de Frances I had planned on 7 weeks to walk the 550 miles to Santiago de Compostela then on to the Sea at Finisterre.

This pilgrimage walk is also called
The Way.

As with life…
Often walking The Way
looks very different
than we anticipated.

The bones are good!

I have been back in Portland a week.
My knee is more painful, not less.
I can barely bend it.
I have an MRI this weekend to
get clear answers of what the injury is and then I can co-create
a plan to treat it.

Walking in the Mystery (Mist/Trees)

I am actually writing this sitting
in the square in front of
The Cathedral of
Santiago de Compostela.

The place all paths of The Camino end.
The Way of St James.

Look… I made it!
Well… Me and the train.

The End of The Beginning...

As I mused over
what to name this post…
‘The end of the beginning’
came immediately to mind.

Limping into Castrojeriz on a rainy, grey day.

The Next Steps...

This day, The Camino left trails
and the last couple km's to Castrojeriz
were on a road.

When even walking flat, on a road
was incredibly painful for me,
it was at this point... At this gate...
I first thought:
This may be the end of my Camino.

I hobbled to a hotel and told myself:
Rest 3 days until Monday
then decide.

Today is Monday...
