The Camino is church
The Camino is the church where you just walk right in. Everyone is welcome, no questions asked.
The Camino is the church where it doesn't matter whether you have faith, whether you are searching for answers or simply want to enjoy the experience.
The Camino is the church where apart from walking to Santiago, respecting the way, nothing else is compulsory.
The Camino is the church where everyone is equal. There are no bosses.
The Camino is the church where you can pray, think or meditate when you want. Or not!
The Camino is the church where every meal is a communion which includes everyone around the table.
The Camino is the church where the arrows will guide you, not tell you what to do.
The Camino is the church where to lighten the load you can forgive your own sins and those who have sinned against you.
The Camino is the church where the choir is the dawn chorus of birds in the trees and sheep bleating in the meadow.
The Camino is the church filled with people just like you where you can make life long friends.
The Camino is the church where the only peals are peals of laughter from pilgrims.
The Camino is the church which is never full up. Come along there's room for you too.
Hello, Johnnie,
ReplyDeleteI've never seen this poem about Camino as church. It's quite wonderful. There was no attribution to its author--so I wonder if you wrote it? I especially liked the lines about lightening the load, every meal is communion, and nothing is compulsory. Blessings and thanks!
