Hey Pilgrims,
It's been about a month since I have
returned from Spain. Most pilgrims would say "the Camino really begins
in Santiago." So according to their logic, I'm on the Camino. That's
very nice, but I wish they would tell that to my body which is squarely
in the USA. And my body is still telling me "You stopped walking a while
back."
Post Camino Blues is hard to define in a sense. From a
physical stand point, it's a lack of neurotransmitters to the pleasure
center of the brain. Thirty days of "runners high" and the brain got
used to it.
The second piece of the blues is actual more mental.
In my last post, I mentioned that walking the Camino may provide some
clarity (while walking) about what one should do in life. And, many
pilgrims make promises to themselves... "when I get home, I'm going
to......eat organic, exercise more, quit that job, end that
relationship, start that relationship (whatever the case may be.) It
may become a challenge of logistics of executing the plans made on the
Camino and their real life consequences.
During the podcast, Steve
reads off a list of "remedies" that I can use to make me feel like I'm
on the Camino at home. He's so helpful. Until the next podcast...
Buen Camino.
