Long before I was actually able to walk the Camino de Santiago in Spain, I was captured by the concept of a spiritual journey that had a different destination than the starting point. This may be a less comforting metaphor for some. Each day of a journey can be very different and there is no reassurance about what is next. On the road traveling companions come but they also go, mountains must be climbed with valleys in between, and there is no neat and tidy way to proceed. Sort of like the life Jesus called his disciples to choose.
