Rabanal del Camino

I close my eyes, and I can recall this. There I am, climbing those hills like I did the days before. But this time, it is different. I have to let some of my weight go when I reach the Cruz de Ferro some five ks after Rabanal. With the stone I’m carrying, I’ll dispose of the person I don’t want to be. I want to leave my old-downtrodden-self behind, and pick up a new, pure and shining one. This is going to be my revival, there, on the Cruz, when with the stone I’ll get rid of them all. All my anger, fear, disruption, negative thoughts, all the questionable personality traits of the person I am now. Wow, I still have to sort things out, and I only have 9ks to go from here to the Cruz.
Where I’m going to spend my night as well. I have my sleeping bag with me, and I’m sure I’ll find a bench where I can spend the night.
This day was the highpoint of my trip in 2006. A changed man continued the way. A part of that guy still remains in me today. I draw a lot of strength and energy from the guy I was when I left the Cruz behind.
