My poetry has deep roots, as I have been writing for over thirty years. I seem to reprise my thoughts of past and present and now the future as I prepare for our journey. Enjoy...DAK
Walk with Me
My thoughts now are of the Way of St. James
The Camino is anxiously awaiting my quest
I will soon become one with my inner thoughts
Solitude will now become joined with stamina
The ancients needed this fulfillment to live
To become one with yourself is now my cause
The reasons are now many yet also unknown
Answers to life may now become evident
Being alone with many is a personal desire
The gods will soon overtake all of my senses
The absence of what we know will become clear
Stripping your mind of all anxiety is new life
The Field of the Sky is yearning for me
The shadow of the Milky Way protects my walk
I have opened my mind for a new beginning
I am now a child again learning new ways
I await this spiritual journey with trepidation
My body will soon connect with my soul
My chakras will receive new direction and life
The journey will now live within me forever

The Camino de Santiago
We would like to welcome you to our blog regarding our upcoming trip to Spain. Judy and I will be walking the Camino de Santiago, a trail which stretches approximately 500 miles in its entirety, but we are opting for a more reasonable trek of 160 km or about 100 miles. We will be departing from a city in northern Spain called Leon and hopefully reaching our final destination city of Santiago in about 10 days. It is truly a leap of Faith thinking we can accomplish this endeavour, but since pilgrims have been doing this for over 1000 years I am sure with your thoughts, prayers, and best wishes we can pull this off.
We are hoping to update this as frequently as we can depending on the availability of a good wireless signal each day of our journey. We have been preparing for this now for the last couple of months, not knowing if we could pull the trigger on such a bizarre item found on our "Bucket List", but we finally committed to this and have been trying to accumulate all that goes with a trip such as this. We now have our packs, blister kits, moleskin, water bottles, ponchos, updated passports, hiking attire, and most especially our hiking boots. We are hoping to have approximately 100 miles on these life support units before we leave. We have been told that they will become our best friends. I am beginning to believe this statement already.
So stay tuned to our wonderful adventure and hopefully we can share this trip with you as well. With only our best wishes, we carry with us your thoughts and prayers to the Cathedral of St. James in Santiago. So it's Buen Camino for now.
