Essays from the Camino

Several months ago, after I came back from Spain, I wanted to try to capture my experience on the Camino in written form. I continue to try to get that organized but, it if a very daunting task.

Instead, I started to write an essay about a very difficult time for me that happened while I was on the Camino, I wanted to explore those thoughts and feelings. I also thought it would maybe be a bit like dipping my toe in the water.

As I started writing, it occurred to me that most people probably have similar stories or thoughts so, I challenged them to contribute. My idea was to take a moment, person, place, occurrence or whatever and put that into words, a collaboration. I’m happy to say that several have accepted the challenge and the first results are included.

If you would like to contribute, please submit your essay at thepilgrim@juspassinthrough.com . I believe you’ll find the effort rewarding.
