After completing my Camino from St. Jean de Pied a Port to Santiago de Compostela, I celebrated like most pilgrims with close friends I made along the way. Eventually, everyone left to return home to their jobs. Being retired, I struck out for Finistera and Muxia as a continuation of my Camino experience. Its all documented on my YouTube channel called Bardo Patrol.
I returned to Santiago alone and a bit beaten down from hiking a week along the rainy Galicia coastal area. I finally decided to purchase my return ticket home to the States. As it turned out, the first decent flight that was not sold out was 4 days away. So, I had some time to kill. I revisited all the places I had been before, explored a view new ones and eventually decided to go to confession and get my Catholicism back on track. This was easier said than done. Finding an English speaking priest led to to a series of churches and designated times which proved fruitless.
In one particular small chapel, once I realized there was no confession taking place, I just sat down in a pew feeling a bit defeated and despairing. That is when I noticed a small screen playing a slideshow over and over again. Intrigued, I moved closer and started watching. I will start posting the images I snapped of each slide. This simple little presentation which I totally missed when visiting this building to get my Camino credential was incredibly moving and something I want to share with you. Above is the first slide. Meditate on the message for each. It will be worthwhile.
