Hola Familia y Amigos!
As I walk out of Irun there is a slight drizzle floating in the air, bringing the deep greens of the grass, the black of the tarmac and burnt yellows of the leaves into rich clarity. The temperature is crisp and cool, and I gulp in huge breaths of the fresh, clean air. As I turn a corner of a back country road the forest opens before me, all reds, browns, greens and yellows. A herd of goats is grazing in the pasture to my right and a rainbow shows itself high in the sky above. I burst into tears...of joy, of gratitude...of understanding THIS is exactly where I'm meant to be! Where my heart wants to be...back in the forest, back in nature, in quiet solitude. I feel really thankful that Spirit knew where I needed to be and delivered me here - and that I was willing to be guided and didn't put up resistance.
So, the first 34kms brings me to Andoain. I haven't seen another pilgrim all day. Upon arrival I know I have to pick up the key at the police station because my good friend Juan, the Camino expert, has told me so. I trek over to the station, get the key, offer to pay, and they tell me it's free! Awesome! I return to the albergue and no one is there and, over the duration of the evening, no one else shows up. I have the entire place to myself! I have heard other pilgrims say it is a spooky experience for them to be in a big, empty albergue alone, but I don't feel that way at all! I take a long, hot shower without worrying about anybody waiting their turn. I read until 11pm with the lights on because I can. This morning, because I have a computer all to myself and can take all the time I want to browse, (no one will be at the police station until 9:30am to receive the key and I've only 11kms to walk today) I decide to check into the Shamanic Power Path site...one of my faves...and read up on Lena's message for October. I know it's a little late to be reading up about a month that is practically over, but I'm curious and I find myself stunned at what she has to say as it directly mirrors my experience...from shutting down and unplugging from routine, to collective exhaustion, to rebooting and renewing self.
Is it egoistic to say that I feel really tuned in to myself, others, and the planet? I feel like my psychic energies have erupted and expanded x 100! I feel like Lena's message only confirmed my ability to be completely in tune with collective energies and insights, that I'm tapping into the Universal as a lifestyle now. And on this, the day of Hallow's Eve AND a new galactic spin, a time of turning...and tuning in, I want to give thanks for the guidance of Spirit, Universal synchronicity, Mystery and Magick, and the Divine Feminine that resides within me and connects to all.
I wish you the most magical of Holloween's! I want to see pics of those special kiddies in your lives!
Big love. Much gratitude.
Sincerely,
Kim
