Reflection

I’m thinking a lot about how this pilgrimage has affected me. I definitely don’t feel like the same person who started this journey. I’ve witnessed so much inner strength that it took me by surprise. I hit this road with a fervor. It was a do or die. There were times in the first few days that I thought I might die! It was so hot and I was so exhausted! But I kept finding new reserves. I know my limits now. I learned to slow down. I learned that it’s ok to feel sad and lonely and empty sometimes. I learned that welcoming in feelings of emptiness can allow love to fill the void.  I know that I can be completely vulnerable and still feel safe. 

It’s almost over. Barely any distance in front of me now.
