I had a dream last night that was very real. I felt everything in the dream. I was being attacked by what my mind referred to as a lion but I can only assume was a saber-toothed tiger. I saw and felt the long front canines pierce my ribcage and tear into my abdomen. I felt myself dying. I was screaming in my dream and I woke up. Where in the world would such a dream come from?
As I walked this morning I enjoyed looking at the pink clouds in the sky with the dawn, the shapes of the tops of the trees against the blue of the morning sky, and I saw a red-tailed hawk sitting at the crest of a pine tree searching the ground below for his breakfast. I think about the Camino most of the time when I walk and I am looking forward to the adventure so much. I have been thinking of going to the City next weekend so I can see the movie The Way. I have things I need to bring to my sister's house to store there anyway and I would, I think, enjoy a weekend away.
I usually forgot all the things I think of to post while I am walking. There was something good this morning that I wanted to share and now I have forgotten. I try to think of what the ground will look like, and the countryside in Spain and I imagine how I might feel as I spend each day with a goal to walk and nothing else. I found my Gregory backpack yesterday but am thinking perhaps I will want the Osprey instead. I need to make sure whatever I take can be taken on the plane and maybe the Osprey is too long. I look forward to being done with my job so I can walk more, think more, day-dream more and still get my schoolwork done. Ha!
A friend found out his divorce was final yesterday and he was very elated. We celebrated by texting each other. It is so hard to have your life put on hold for whatever reason, and not to be able to seek out your future openly and with the full concentration of your intentions.
