We are all on a journey, from the cradle to the grave (we are born astride the grave, to borrow from Beckett), or, in Jesus’ case from the manager to the tomb. There are many twists and turns along this journey, intentional, unintentional, of our own choosing, or thrust upon us.

I’ve taken much of my journey on a day to day basis, but events over the past few months have caused me to start looking at the next few years differently, focusing on a long term spiritual journey. I’ve been thinking and writing about this a lot recently, and have shared some of my thoughts and writings with various friends.

I’ve found friends who are on similar journeys. Some of them are sharing parts of their journeys online as well. Over the coming days, I hope to link to some of them here. Some are circumspect about their journeys. A common theme is not being sure exactly where the journey leads and even uncertainty about the path.

One friend mentioned the Camino de Santiago, and I’m using this as one of the metaphors for my journey, along with many great road stories, both in books and film. On the Camino, a common greeting is Buen Camino, and it is becoming a common epilogue to my posts.

I hope to have more to share over the coming days, but for now,

Buen Camino.
