The Camino's Hold On Me

Why I Keep Returning

The lure of the Camino de Santiago remains as strong today, after 4 journeys along its fabled trails over the past 4 years as when I first really felt the need for my personal journey/pilgrimage.

 It's not a religious thing, altho' at times, I am overwhelmed by a sense of something greater than myself.

It's not a "pilgrimage" in the sense that I seek redemption before the relics of St James.

Even tho' I can tell you what it isn't, I still can't tell myself what it is. I only know that as my life tends towards the chaotic and unbalanced, the more I need the peace and solitary feeling of composure that I find in Spain's heritage, history and life.
