In the spirit of my five year anniversary of arriving at the cathedral during my hike on the "Camino de Santiago", I decided to share this "camino" referencing poem from 2012. This was written as I began to train my replacement for my work in Central America. I held a great peace in my heart despite my current challenges and lack of clarity for the future.
owning and living vocation
tranquility among challenges
all done with much intention
uncertainties remain
but heart feels great peace
the camino in end only allows us to gain
remaining present here
also see future lurking on horizon
both are true and dear
realities still pain heart
but little shock factor remains
proved unsustainable always returning to the start
present here
cognizant of approaching there
holding so many near and dear
