I want to express my deep gratitude and thanks to all those who wrote comments throughout this process. You have been kind and generous. Thank you for putting up with the long absences and checking back in, or for stumbling upon me for the first time. It has been great fun

Pilgriming does mean traveling in a different way. And that is true even if you set out with no intention or thought to being a pilgrim. After all, as an American, the word pilgrim presents a distortion of Hollywood images ranging from

Camino La Vis, C. Santiago, Santiago Way North, Camino Carlita, East El Camino Real, Caminito Tierra, Saint James Cir., North Refugio Rd., Camino Capistrano, Camino Caballo, and North Camino Padre Isidoro, these are but a few of

The beginning of some last thoughts today, although I'm noting the humor in having a seven part epilogue which will most likely go into eight. I am finding it difficult to let go of this space, this wonderful space that I have

These days. These days it's been difficult to know how much more to write. I could blame it on lack of time and it would be the truth, but it isn't the whole story. I guess you could say I needed time to let things sit and to ask myself if I was done or not. But I didn't intend the silence to be nearly a year either. At some point I came to
