Clarity
Lightening your energetic load and being clear about who you travel forward with. Learning discernment about who sees your worth and can actually support your growth.
Notes from Elizabeth's Camino: Puente la Reina is the city where I spent my third night on the trail. Previously I had walked with a man from Denmark who had been part of the original group that I started with on the first day. During this day, I walked ahead when he needed to slow down due to knee problems. This departure happened on the outskirts of Pamplona, a city famous for the running of the bulls. This moment of moving ahead was one of clarity. It was a moment when I knew that I needed to keep moving forward and that there were other souls further ahead who could better support me in my journey. Because this man reminded me of a person with whom I had recently parted, this was a big moment for me. Even this early in my journey, the trail was teaching me discernment about my choices of traveling companions and my worthiness to travel with kindred spirits.
In Puente la Reina, I also lightened my pack by leaving behind my heavy but brand new sleeping mat. With a gulp, I left it in the albergue but did not miss its weight and bulk on my back for one minute. On the trail everything in one’s pack must be essential. Flushing out all the things that were not needed was a favorite pastime. I found the practice could be almost completely translated to all the things we carry internally as well. Hence, I set off before sunrise in the company of two kind Italians who spoke not a lick of English, in an effort to lighten all types of loads.
-On the Camino you have to carry all your gear with you. This gives ample opportunities to assess if something is really worth carrying. Puente La Reina helps us dump what we need to dump from our life situation so we can keep going with a lighter load and only that which is truly essential onboard.
