Connect or disconnect?

On some occasions we have commented among people that we do the Road that this is an experience of disconnection with aspects of our daily life that we live with stress or with difficulties of all order.

And while on the first occasions that I did Way that was the feeling, as I have returned to it I have started to realize that what it represented for me was actually a connection experience.

I explain. In the first instance, doing Camino represents a series of changes that necessarily drive you away physically and also mentally from day to day. That is an obvious disconnection from our daily life. But when you go "insisting" on the Way you see that this increase in disconnection with daily life, with all those aspects of suffering that brings us, is directly proportional to the increase in connection with other aspects such as our serenity, our calm, our inner listening. We disconnect from the external and we are connecting with the internal. We move away from the superfluous, from the elaborate and approach the essential and simple.

And that's when we start to discover what the essential path of the Way is. A road that has thousands of routes on the map, but whose fundamental route is the one that leads us inside.
