Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela: Day 25
DAY TWENTYFIVE FLAVIGNAC- LA COQUILLE For the one with the mind not flowing out, the thoughts not scattered, right and wrong discarded, and wakeful, there is no fear Dhammapada This day was a day of walking through meadows, forests and fields. Quiet lakes were scattered in between with trees being reflected on the surface. It was great just to walk. In front of a cherry tree, the owner of the house placed a chair for the hikers with the invitation to use it for rest. … Continue reading

Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela: Day 23
DAY TWENTYTHREE SAINT-LEONARD-DE-NOBLAT – LIMOGE How could we discuss this and that Without knowing that the world Is reflected in a single pearl Ryokan By crossing the river Vienne on the 13th century bridge Pont de Noblat, we left the city and came into the rural area again – a hilly contryside with fields of wheat, forests with blooming sweet chestnut trees, mills and stonewalls overgrown with moss. We left the town together and I continued later at my own speed – a pattern that developed until we departed a few days later in Périgueux. … Continue reading

DAY TWENTYTWO BILLANGES – SAINT-LÉONARD-DE-NOBLAT What day are we? We are every day, my friend We are the whole of live, my love…. Jaques Prévert It was a rainy morning when we left Billanges. Against the grey sky, the green leaves of trees and shrubs were shining in a saturated, deep green. It was a feast for the eye. We walked over paved streets and small forest ways and passed an abandoned looking palace. In a forest, we came up to a decorated tree trunk, the “tronc du pelerin”. This tree trunk was decorated with all kinds of objects people left on their way to Santiago. We had great fun to look at all these different things. Pont du Dognon over the river Taurion … Continue reading

Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela: Day 21
DAY TWENTYONE BÉNÉVENT-L’ABBEYE – BILLANGES It was great! I did not have to look for the way as Rohan took the lead and I was following him. No worry anymore about getting lost. Eddy was a fast walker and always waited a bit until he could walk at his own speed. We were a great team as we shared our love for silence, beauty and for just walking. Eddy and Rohan looking for the Way Our path took us up the highest peak of the Via Lemovicensis, to the 2,192 feet high village of Saint-Goussaud. In front of the 12th century church, we met three Dutch pilgrims on the way to Santiago de Compostela. One of them did not carry a back- pack but pulled a two-wheeled chart behind him. … Continue reading

DAY TWENTY LA SOUTERRAINE – BÉNÉVENT-L’ABBEY In late morning, I started the trek to the Bénévent-L’Abbey, a town fourteen miles away from La Souterraine. With each step I took, I felt better. Walking in nature is meditation for me; it connects me with something bigger than myself – with the bigger Self. … Continue reading

Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela: Days 13 – 19
DAY THIRTEEN – DAY NINETEEN WRITING WORKSHOP, FERME VILLEFAVARD Exhausted, I sought a country inn, but found wisteria in bloom Matsuo Basho For years, I wanted to do a creative writing workshop with Natalie Goldberg. I was reading her books and did many of her exercises. This winter, I met her for the first time at a Ryokan workshop in Santa Fe. I was excited to be able to spend one week with her. Shortly before the workshop started in Villefavard, I heard the sad news that Natalie … Continue reading

DAY TWELVE LA SOUTERRAINE – VILLEFAVARD Again I sneak into your garden To eat aronia berries (please keep yourself hidden until I go away) Ryokan La Souterraine got its name from the crypt underneath the 12th Century Romanesque church. Even before the Romans settled here, the Celtic people venerated Sosterranea, the Goddess of the earth, at this place. Unfortunately, the crypt was closed due to renovation. Therefore, I had time to wander around through the town before the shuttle was to pick me up for Villefavard. … Continue reading

Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela: Day 11
DAY ELEVEN CLUIS – LA SOUTERRAINE It was the last day before I wanted to be in Ferme Villefavard for my creative writing workshop. Yet I had to still walk over 35 miles, which was impossible for me. No public transportation was running between cities. I did not know what to do. But I was lucky. The young owner of the petite épicerie in Cluis, his name was Kam, helped me find a ride to the next town, Crozant. He knew the people in town and asked an unemployed person with a car who needed money. We both benefitted from each other. When I arrived in Crozant, I was leaving Burgundy and entered the region of Limousin – the least populated area in France. The symbol of Limousin is a white feather with the Letter L on it. … Continue reading
