Visited Barcelona and saw this statue near to the Cathedral there... I passed him many times and felt this peregrino (pilgrim) was calling to me. It took me three weeks home to decide to book another trip to France and Spain to do my first part of the Camino Frances.
Sometimes you have to just listen to your inner voice.
This small wood carving, on a side street somewhere in the old section of Barcelona, also resonated with me. I was saddened by the graffiti on it, but did not realize, until it was cropped and bigger, that it said “Sue”- the name of my sister. In 2017, Sue almost died- and in gratitude and Thanksgiving, I will walk to honor a promise to God.
