The Way of St James
An inexplicable calling is heard
a powerful force beckons.
The Way of St James must be traversed!
Across mountains, tended fields and urban landscapes pilgrims play out this age old ritual.
Time worn wayside crosses
vie for attention in a modern world, providing a connection to the spiritual.
A tangible reminder of the seeker’s purpose.
Ancient cloisters reverberate.
A black clad nun sings with joy, bringing tears to the faces of many. Santiago de Compostela!
Having returned to familiar shores,
a path of transformation continues,
long after the footsteps have fallen silent.
