In May and June of 2012 I walked 620 miles or 1000 kilometers in France and Spain on the Camino de Santiago de Compostela - the way of St. James. This is my journey. Your comments are welcome. My journey continues now long after my return from Spain. It is important that life becomes a journey, and that it provides ways to enjoy and experience new beginnings.

A wandering life
I think I've always liked to wander. When I was young my dad let me take the boat out whenever I wanted. I would go off and explore around the lake or go to places I liked to be and just sit there. It was a big lake so there were lots of places to go. For the last 30 years I have been trying to fit into the social organization of being an adult in this world and it simply doesn't seem to work for me. I need to explore and to wander, to go places and make new friends. It's essential to who I am. Living the work-a-day world isn't really me. I want to learn new things, share those things with others, and explore the great wonder that is the world today. It is clear to me that I cannot be satisfied with what I have and not want more. The wanting is not a material want but a spiritual want - a want to fill my life with the good things and the challenges that adventure can bring. So, here I go, off into the world to find that wonder.
