The purpose is to be a reminder and an invitation to the wonderful experience to be had, walking the Camino de Santiago. My Camino was the "Camino Frances" The first poem "All souls" remained un-named for most of the camino, until a dear friend and walking partner delivered the name to me. As you will note it was dedicated to a very special person, a complete stranger, who showed me beyond all doubt, what the power of kindness was for.

ARRIVAL (PROCESSION OF PILGRIMS)
We came in rain.
It was so lovely,
To see the procession,
The pilgrim familys' arrival.
And these heavenly showers,
Hid my tears flowing,
Freely down my face,
The blessing of being.
We came as one,
Into the sacred city.
Finding solace in unity,
Our progress not hindered,
By the rain above.
Our joy, evident plainly,
On each face passing,
Into the plaza Obradoiro.
And I felt humbled,
sinking to my knees.
Kissing the aged stones,
To give great thanks,
For the, 'Camino de Santiago'.
