My Response to Carpe Diem #1138 - Road to Santiago - Hospitality
This episode is titled “Hospitality” and it refers to be friendly and loving to another human being in "The Pilgrimage”.
Along The Road to Santiago you can always find shelter at old barns, small villages, hotels, homes and more that is one of the "laws" of the Road to Santiago,
while you are on your Road to Santiago as a pilgrim, wearing the St. James Scallop, you always will find a place to stay, to rest, to eat and drink, but also to sleep.
St James Scallop - A marker in the pavement in the town of Navarrete, La Rioja, Spain, indicates the route of the Way of St. James through the town's center.
This is also the deeper meaning of walking the Road ... be grateful for everything you got.
The people living along the Road will give you shelter because they know that giving you a place to rest will give them a good feeling and it gives them the love, the unconditional love of our Creator.
This month we have been walking the Road to Santiago together with Paulo Coelho the world famous author from Brazil.
"The Pilgrimage" is our guide along the Road, it has been a great inspiration to me, I have learned so much, it felt as though I was walking it myself.
Sometimes walking the road there are times when nature isn’t kind to the traveler, this could be one of the times when hospitality is welcomed.
Dark stormy weather on the Road to Santiago
Tanka for hospitality
though times may be hard
walking the pilgrimage road
help available
just trust in the lord above
angels watching over you
