The Camino Francés is more than a trail; it’s a journey of transformation, an 800km pilgrimage stretching from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port in France to the sacred city of Santiago de Compostela in Spain. In a season shadowed by grief, I felt a call to walk for 34 days, moving step by step through valleys, forests, and mountain passes. Along the way, I encountered moments of stillness, glimpses of light, and quiet encounters with the sacred woven into every corner of the landscape. Each step became both a surrender and an offering, a meditation on loss, presence, and the invisible threads of grace that hold us. The journey revealed the rhythm of patience, the beauty of impermanence, and a connection to something far greater than myself, an intimate brush with God.
PSALM 84:5-7
Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
whose hearts are set on pilgrimage
