I have seen many clear blue skies and farm fields on the flat hot plains of Spain this past week. Today was a day of fluffy cloud filled skies and a change of plant life.

I’ve seen more sunrises here in Spain this week than I’ve seen in the past year at home. We were slow in waking as we had a private room in a house. As we were getting ready to leave we saw the sunrise from our bedroom window. I love hearing the roosters crow as we begin our morning Camino. 

We left the flat land behind and headed to the wind turbine topped mountains. It reminded me of Din Quiote….the mountains we climbed today were filled with cows, heather and evergreen trees. Many mountains were covered with trees and the trails were rocky. The mountains seemed to open up to more mountains. At one point it seemed as if we were on the edge of the earth just before headed down the other side of the mountain.

Each day is filled with new discoveries…depth of new friendships….and lessons to learn. I am seeing that even though we may not speak the same language, our hearts & spirits want the same things. Anita and Marcus have also become Pilgrims for Peace. 

The Cruz de Ferro was a transitional point for Sharon and I. We left our burdens of the past, prayers & hopes for the future there . 

I am feeling a new sense of pace and time. Taking more time to air out my feet and not paying attention to what day of the week it is…and stopping to enjoy the views as often as I want since there is no place I must  be until October 1. 

Looking at the clouds from a mountain top, a sunrise and sunset today make me realize again that attitude and point of view can and does change. My peace prayer and message is transforming… Happiness is over rated. Peace in ones heart is golden…I wish you peace mis amigos…
