So, numerous people have asked me: "Why are you doing this?"
I can only answer for myself. If my daughter chooses to share her thoughts, then that will be her personal choice. In fact, I think "The Way" is just that.....personal. I could say that I have longed to do this for decades, or that I have some deep rooted calling from God that has directed me to this journey. However, none of those answers are true.
The truth is, I honestly don't know why. I have never seen the Martin Sheen movie, "The Way". I have no idea this even existed until a year and a half ago, when I searched "pilgrimages", just on a whim, and this came up. The more I read, the more intrigued I became. And there was just something about the thought of it and the history behind it that drew me to it. Having recently been confirmed in the Catholic Church, I cannot say that my spirituality was not part of the decision. I love my Faith. However, that's not the sole reason. I believe our lives are journeys, no matter who you are. And I think that this is part of mine, whatever the reason. I'm sure I will have more insight as the walk progresses. We will see.
