I talked in the blog last year about goal and destination, how the point is the journey but you need the destination, like ying and yang. It sounds trite but there is an analogy between the Camino and life. You start out the day walking with 400 miles to go and at the end you still have 385 miles to go. It seems like it will last forever and the end seems far in the future, too fast to worry about. Kind of like going from age 25 to 26, the end is just as far away. The days are fun and long and seem like they will go on forever.
Then you get close to Santiago and everybody is sad that it is coming to an end. It is hard to concentrate on each day without thinking about finishing.
Our plan this time is just to go on day to day until we are ready to change. Then we are going to take the bus to Santiago and start again going to Finisterre and Muxia.
So it is like in life. You go as far as you want then you take the bus and start a new one that will be different.
