Sure, every kilometer towards it contributes. Still, my camino gets it's highlight on the meseta. First the beloved stay in Castrojeriz. The next morning up the Mostalares. It took me a long time, heaviness in more than pack and heat.
Up there, overlooking the plains, I sense what I come for. Down into the deep, into the sun, no end, no shadow. All the way up to Leon - the finest parts of this Camino. Gimme no shelter.
Way be straight
way be endless
sun burn me
touch me
be in my heart
camino
siempre
Camino Meseta 2015
This day in June. Lingering, seeing what I can see. And knowing the hot afternoon sun is waiting. With a burning sun and a straight path all the way to Calzadilla de la Cueza. I am late. I walk alone. My brothers are further up the road. The other pilgrims have gone by.
All I want is sit in the shadow. But the path has to be taken. And there is no shadow. My water is not endless. A sense of fear. But what can happen, the earth will carry me. I force myself to collect stones. And write them. And lay them on the path. Don't look back.
