St. Jean Pied de Port: The decision to leave

One of the great moments of a journey, is that of Santiago, is one of faith surely the decision to leave . Looking back toward the past, and understand that " at the moment" have precise started to get up and walk. "That moment" may be a religious experience for each of us stronger, something happened that marked our lives, a moral injury, a personal drama, testimony, or a mere curiosity.

The pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, was for me, a missing link to a journey that had begun twenty years ago, when during a football game with my dying friend, Ezio. This tragedy upsets the balance of all that I set in my life.

We can say that my mood could be summarized in a song that perhaps many of you know: One day you think you are Edoardo Bennato

One day you think you are right
and being a great man
you wake up in another
and you have to start from scratch.
situations that are repeated wearily

timeless music for a few friends,
as three years ago.
At this point you have to leave
here the struggle is harder but you
if you take a thrashing
insist more.
're stubborn, that's for sure,
then you can still save
put all the strength you have in your
fragile nerves.
When you get up and you feel destroyed
made under and meets your day
not retrace your steps
usually enough for a moment.
While you're in the absurd person
and you see already old and dilapidated
tell all the people

your fake accident.

God that day, I reached , like Christ, when he walked next to the disciples of Emmaus incognito. The Lord has not told me his name, only accompanied me in my research, I helped deepen the last questions, those that can not be answered. It helped me to broaden the horizon of my life, taught me to trust myself, openness towards others, how to deal with life's problems and how to live well on this forgiving wrongs.
And now here I am, starting the Camino de Santiago, a journey can still amaze me and make my heart happy and my life.

Santiago: a way of life, a journey of faith

The Road to Santiago as the journey of our life ... as the journey of faith each of us.

I heard about it before you leave, I have often pondered this thought while I walk looking for and finding many similarities. Now at home, after just over a month since our return I would like to retrace the steps trying to highlight those aspects that slowly make me aware of the grace that is received by this pilgrimage, and that turns you into the heart.

Fragments, splinters, crumbs of meditations which I wish to share with you.
What he told me the Way.

Feasibility of

Among the many positive aspects of the Camino de Santiago is that of " be feasible, even by" normal people "and especially not particularly trained.

This statement is not synonymous with "start without any training," but simply want to stress that any person with a minimum of physical training, documentation "on board", a strong will to reach a degree of adaptability to situations and can walk the Camino de Santiago personally experiencing the emotions that come by the Way.

Raffaele I state that neither I nor engage in any exercise schedule. Assuming that walking is a natural activity, and thus not innate human need, we gain a great technical ability but just a little wake up 'the muscles relaxed by too many office hours and sedentary lifestyle. Raffaele being able to do, he started its preparation by going regularly to work on foot (he lives about 2 km from the workplace).

I started to walk more steadily (train seems too difficult a word) about five months before departure. I immediately started with the new boots to "adapt" good foot by walking about 4 to 6 km (about 1h 1h ÷ ½) once or twice a week. Beginning on flat and hilly route later on. Later I began to lengthen the path reaching walks of 10 to 12 km. Over the past two months I started to carry a backpack with top a load of 3 to 4 kg and grow until you reach a weight about equal to that for the Road (about 10 kg). In this last period we had three or four outputs with simulating a stage of the media path as the path length (about 20 to 25 km) and height differences of about 300 m. We also hiked in the mountains with the weight of the backpack type Camino (10 kg) and height difference of about 1000 m.

Since the end result I think we made the preparation was good. After the first day of "acclimatization" to the new way of life and the weight of the backpack, I would say that both the physical and the mind are found at ease in the new situation and brought us together to achieve the objective that we set. We had some days where you felt that his legs "turned" without apparent effort and you could walk for hours, I felt that all physical, mind and environment was in perfect harmony and walk there in that place along with Raphael, and all other pilgrims, seemed the most logical and most natural.

There were also moments with the difficulties which have known physical disorders (muscle pain, foot problems, pain in the ligament) problems of heat, especially anxiety problems in the longest stage in which the end point of stage never came or you saw it at the last moment.
