Ann will be off on the Camino in a couple of weeks. She is busy putting in long miles, checking her feet, gathering her gear, and rechecking her feet. Along with taking long daily walks through some of the most beautiful countryside imaginable, the group will gather over wine and cheese at the end of the day to discuss some short pieces about the idea of pilgrimage and how their own experience does or doesn’t resonate with that of others. Here is one of the short pieces they will mull over, midway, as they wonder what suffering has to do with pilgrimage.
