Twenty nine years ago today I began a spiritual journey. My guides told me I was going to have to change everything, if I was going to be successful on this journey. I thought they were exaggerating. Twenty nine years later I know they were correct. I am not the same person today that I was twenty nine years ago.
Twenty nine years ago I woke up every morning disappointed that I was still alive. Today I like me, the person I became by following a simple path or way. Today I love my life. I am so grateful for the people who walked this path before me and showed me the way. I wasn’t always sure their directions would get me where I wanted to go, but I realized after a while that I didn’t know the best destination for me. They knew a better way.
Today I have a life beyond my wildest dreams. I used to feel alone in a crowd and now I don’t feel lonely even when I’m alone. In nine days I get to go to Spain and walk for 500 to 600 miles from France to the northern coast of Spain. This pilgrimage is called the Camino Santiago or the Way. For me it is just a part of the bigger, or longer Way, which is my life.
I thank God as I understand God, and those who came before me and served as guides on this path.
