Sahagun to Leon

Today I travelled to Leon as I expected I would when I woke up this morning. I love when I still like the decision I made yesterday, and it is still a good decision when I wake up.

I spent some time in the square with the Cathedral directly in front drinking a glass of wine, waiting for my room to be ready, pondering this idea. This idea of stopping to think.

So after a nap, and settling into this room for the next five days, I ventured out for a salad. I never did find the salad, but instead I found two Australians and we shared knitting stories...and he is a man! He is a much better knitter than I will ever be. His sister is a quilter!

Then still hungry but it is nearly 9:30 pm, I find an Asian restaurant and have spring rolls...then passed an art gallery. Found something I like, but not sure I have enough walls in my new house ( for those of you who don't yet know...I bought a house, so I did accomplish something in the first 400 km). So I am going to sit on that for a day or two.

But the best part of my day is that a woman I met from Texas, Darlene, sent me a clip of Morgan Freeman ( and who can't listen to Morgan Freeman without melting) who talks about the inner voice and how sometimes it whispers...so my day has ended with a Camino friend, reaching out, without even knowing that I am looking for my inner voice, and like magic, I get her message. I think Darlene and I have lost each other on the Camino but how wonderful it is to stay connected regardless of the miles that separate us?Læs mere
