Today’s walk reminded me of home a bit. The line from the musical Oklahoma, “Oklahoma where the wind comes sweeping down the plain, and the waving wheat can sure smell sweet…” we even saw a hawk making circles in the sky, wouldn’t call it lazy because I think it was hunting.
It was a very cool day today. The jackets stayed on all day because of the high winds. But the vistas were beautiful. Which is why there will be a bit of a photo dump.
In 2021 Noël walked his first full Camino. He hated the Meseta which is where we are now. This is the part of the Camino that strengthens your mind. Last spring while walking he was dreading walking the Meseta and I told him he was in a totally different place than he was last time. He actually enjoyed it. This time he said, “the Meseta is really beautiful.”
I felt like there was a double Meseta today. The Meseta engages your mind at a deep level, other than navigating the stones the way is not difficult to follow, so you ponder and think. You solve problems. And occasionally you talk to a fellow pilgrim. The wind was so loud today there was no opportunity to chat with anyone. It allowed you to engage more.
Today was a beautiful day. Thank you for coming along. Buen Camino.
