Carpe Diem #1126 Depend on yourself



In my last post #1125 my Tanka introduced you to Father Jordi
Now Father Jordi introduces us to the meaning of the picture below by the quote below.

[...] ‘The Jacobean route is marked with yellow pointers, painted all the way across Spain. 
If you should lose your way at any time, look for the markers – on trees, on stones, and on traffic signs – and you will be able to find a safe place. 
Try to depend mainly on yourself ". [...] (Source: The Pilgrimage by Paulo Coelho)


This is part of the teachings, Chevrefeuille, is creating in our mind about the Road to Santiago. While Paulo is on the path seeking his lost sword.

My Tanka

depend on yourself
like water flows over rocks
follow the true path
it will help enrich your life
seeking the holy spirit
