Camino calm Karma

Its hard to describe the end of a camino. The calm you feel. The karma from all those small events. It can make you motionless. I've been that way since I left Ponferrade. Some would say the way I contolled the football down towards Molineseca, and going into Ponferadde demonstrated everything. That is it. That is the camino. The fun and the closure. You want to keep the door open. You want the draught from the camino to blow riches into your life. That is not how it works. The camino does blow riches. It scatters seed on fertile and barren soil. People grasp the seed and act. Some kick it in the dust and say it'll never work. Everything is what you velieve. I studied Economics and I believe too much reliance is placed on irrelevant stats like GDP. Go Describe Poverty. That's what I would say to GDP. Its so glib to suggest poverty is because of the economy. No, its because of a lack of community. When you walk through cities, towns and pueblos you see it differently. Yes, this is a tourist trail like the West Highland Way. Its like coast to coast and amy other traipsing contest. What you see and experience is real. You will be in most people's life, for one hour maximum. If they do or dont like you, its fleeting. You learn to live a different experience as you encounter 1000;s of people. Not social media, socialability. You see the masked face and the smiling eyes. You smell the omelette. You hear the kind words You taste the omelette Then you thow it back!! How touching
