Stories From Women Who Walk

60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey: My Camino Shadow Beckons

Episode Summary

What deep longing beckons you like a shadow?

Episode Notes

Hello to you listening in Hickory, Tennessee!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds, your daily dose of hope, imagination, wisdom, stories, practical tips, and general riffing on this and that.

A pilgrim on the Camino de Santiago walks from East to West, sun behind, your shadow in front. No matter how you hard you try you cannot get ahead of your shadow. What to do? Slow down. Breathe. Walk. Be glad it’s there to lead you on.    

Even now I see my pilgrim self clearly, certain of my singular purpose: walking, giving myself over to walking and becoming that which I do.

Here on Whidbey Island I’ve gotten caught up in all that comes along with a move to a new community. And, there’s been COVID. I’m feeling a deep longing. I’ve neglected giving myself over to the rhythm of walking - every single day - as far as I want to go. My Camino shadow remembers and it beckons. In the time I have left I must follow.

Question: What deep longing beckons you?
