On the Camino
I went to Santiago de Compostela,
Seeking myself and God.
Changed, I return home
Rich in experiences
Outer and inner
I return to my old life
To places where
I re-encounter the familiar,
Where I work and rest,
Where I wanted to keep on living.
The perplexities, the problems and the people
Continue to be the same.
Only I am not altogether the same,
As the person who one day set off.
I see it all in a new way,
Free of coercion.,
Delving deep in the familiar
I am on the road of life.
Now I don’t have to
Love, work, suffer – I am able to…… !
Living has become a gift.
Because I live from inside, from God.
Oh God!
To live anew con only be done facing ahead.
Along the pilgrim road of my life.
