In reflection of our walk on the Camino de Santiago...

Life is Simple on The Way of St. James

We have walked now an ancient way
The Apostle seemed to walk along side us
My doubts as to its purpose are in the past
Inner feelings are now simple yet exuberant

I left wondering if this was a wise choice
One never grows without failure or trial
So many hills, rocks, and pathways to climb
Life seems to reflect itself in every step

You have time to question your life’s pursuit
Sometimes the answers are not always kind
Yet some answers will validate your quest
Truth will always be the victor in the end

We complicate most of the simple things
Life should be like the transparency of a child
It is in age that we transgress from what we know
The Camino takes us back to what is important

Reflections are best done in quiet solitude
This millennium path gives you all of its best
The heart is never more joyful or alive or free
It is with understanding that you receive its wisdom

I was never really certain what led me here
It was just something that empowered me
I am just thankful for its lessons of affirmation
As Life is Simple on the Way of St. James
